Free agency is (almost) done - so it's time to project the rotations and minutes for all 30 NBA teams.

The link below is my first attempt at projecting every NBA team's rotation and the minutes those players will play.

A few notes: 

* I do not project minutes for free agents who do not have contracts yet. This means that players like Deandre Ayton, Miles Bridges, and Collin Sexton are not listed anywhere on the sheet - if and when they sign, it will have a big impact on their team's projections.

* I tried to project Opening Night rotations - which means that players like Jaren Jackson Jr. (who will not be healthy in mid-October) are not projected for any minutes. It's unclear if Ricky Rubio will be ready for Opening Night but assume that Raul Neto takes most of his minutes if not.

* There are some really difficult calls and shaky roles in these rotations. I am going to try to record a podcast in the next week to give you my more detailed thoughts.

I would LOVE to get feedback on any areas where you see the minutes playing out differently - there's a lot of room for disagreement here. But most of all, I encourage all of you to take on this exercise yourself to get more familiar with each roster and figure out who might have big value drops or declines this year based on minutes played.

I think he’s insurance for if Wiseman can’t stay healthy or can’t play sufficient defense in the playoffs. Also gives them cover if Kuminga doesn’t progress as needed in Year 2.

No Sexton, any insight on on if he plays there and if not where he might land outside of CLE? Surely in an opening night rotation somewhere

I see the note above now. Will keep eyes on this after he signs.
