We have 4 good players who may not play the best together. We can stagger them which gives us two powerful line-ups rather than a strong starter and a weaker bench. We don’t need to replace stars with one another when we can just rotate line-ups based on who we play against. Why is this so hard to understand?

Have Russ lead one unit and Harden another. Another plus is that it will reduce time for Kawhi so that his knee is not overworked.
