No strawman, just answering what you appeared to be saying as I read it. If I misunderstood, was not intentional. The only reason I replied again was your "where did I say that" when I had QUOTED your words, so you would know exactly what I was replying to. So I showed where you said that.
I'm not looking for animus.
If you want to know what minutes I think you're missing, that gum up the works, it's the combo of DFS-RB-THJ in relation to what's available. I think you're focusing on debating things I think are peripheral anyhow (how much Green-Frank play), whereas to me the primary obstacle is the main 3.
I agree the longer rotations in the playoffs aren't really what's applicable. So I have been using the season-long averages for DFS-RB-THJ instead in my analysis, which were 33,28,30 respectively. I don't think DFS will get his minutes cut. Even if you force RB-THJ down to 25 each (an iffy idea imo), and only use Bertans 1 shift a game for 5 mins, and don't ever play G/F at all, you've only got 10 mins available, when 25-30 is what a good player is going to be looking for.
I think they want the guy that will deserve and demand 25-30, and the only realistic route to that guy will be via trade.
