Nailed it. I read today that Maxi actually has a hard cap on minutes at 25. It's obvious that his minutes are managed but this was the first I've heard about a hard cap.
Anyway, your post should be a must-read. It's easy enough to just say play your best guys at least 32 minutes but it's not so easy when you think about these players are humans that need rest and don't want to be in and out of the game without a plan. I think Kidd understands that, maybe better than Rick Carlisle who didn't have much trouble with yo-yo-ing guys around.
