Problem with rotation shortening right now is really health. Lakers are going to want to try to keep AD and LeBron as healthy as possible by limiting minutes on the floor which unfortunately retains the potential of a larger rotation. Also having everyone back minus Bamba means Ham can see with this group what pieces fit in what games are left.
I agree on not giving up on Beasley, especially with the personal issues he's got going on right now. This is one of those times I wish Kobe was around, he could get into Beas ear about the court being a safe space where he can put everything aside for the time he's out there. Becomes an outlet.
We did get to see the rotations shortened up in the second half tonight with Rui getting the call for defensive purposes. I understand the health concerns (especially after the AD scare) but at some point they will have to eventually strategize to win, while obviously acknowledging the risks involved.
Yeah I don't think there's such separation with guys at the end of my conceived rotation and on the outside looking in that we could see some shifting next year but for right now, Ham has to go with the guys who've played best and I think it's pretty clear for some, especially at the top of the rotation.

Agreed on it being time to shorten the rotation. Players that get left out now will have the off-season to get back into the fold if they're retained
