More Lakers. The best on paper rotation by me:

LIneup trends around the league
Re: LIneup trends around the league
Best bigger minute lineups without Reaves? 21 minute and 15 minute not reliable strays.
Looking at sublineup data, there is slight small sample hope for Doncic & bench without James or Ayton, and James or James / Vanderbilt without Doncic or Ayton and bench.

Re: LIneup trends around the league
6 of 9 most used Bulls lineups are positive but none over 2.5 minutes per game for season. Crossed over 400 total lineups, one of 4 to have done so this early. An average of 12 new lineups every game.
10 of 10 most used pairs negative but 5 of next 10 positive. Some change suggested there.

Re: LIneup trends around the league
Timberwolves are only team still below 200 lineups. But 190 lineups after just 35 games is still crazy to me.

Re: LIneup trends around the league
J Johnson Daniels Krejci is the by far best bigger minute trio for Johnson and the Hawks in a fairly credible 300+ minute sample.
Completing with Kennard and Gueye makes the best bigger minute 5-man lineup but in only 32 minutes of test. Test that a handful of other combos a lot more.
5 Johnson lineups tested over 100 minutes. Could be way better (or worse). Does it make sense to spread his time out over 150 lineups? Not to me and not close.

Re: LIneup trends around the league
Pelicans:
Pairs between the assumed frontline of future (Murphy, Williamson, Queen) range from -5 pts / 100p to -10.The trio is unsurprisingly -7. Make a quad with Fears and it goes to worse than -10. Add instead Bey and it goes to -13.5. Add both and it goes to almost -15, albeit in less than 100 minutes test.
Is that the principle design concept?
Seriously?
Lineups can improve significantly... sometimes with player development and other good coaching but that is a steep climb from now.
Replace Williamson with Herb Jones and the 5 man goes to +6. Somewhat better shooting, stocks. Fewer fouls given, more received but fewer own ftas. 3pt fg% crashes. Make this the design or not? Something else? Barely 100 minutes so they don't "know enough". How many minutes will these 2 lineups have at trade deadline and end of season?
Substitute Alvardo for Fears and the new lineups goes to +29... in 40 minutes test.
Keep Fears and sub in Missi for Queen and team results go to +20...in 39 minutes.
How many minutes of test will these lineups get? Why are they spending so much time on 436 other lineups? Substitute Bey for Williamson and it goes +16 in 28 minutes. I'd at least triple use if these 5 lineups.
TEST WHAT IS WORKING BEST HARD AND EVALUATE FROM THERE.
What is the argument for not doing this and continuing the lineup management chaos to date?
