96 minutes of PF and C in a game.  When healthy you'll see Harenstein and Chet get at least 60 of those minutes.

I may suggest the same for you (for your own writing, lol).  You wrote they would start and finish together, then stagger.  Do the math.  They'll be on the court together a lot more than that.

My original statement was:

"They will still be on the court together (at the least starting and finishing games)"

To which you responded:

"Think OKC signed him to $86mill to play 15 mins of backup?"

Do you see how this response makes no sense compared to what I wrote?

As for doing the math, we can start with your 60 minutes between the two of them.  They could play 6 minutes as starters together and play 6 minutes finishing together and stagger the rest of the minutes like this:

Center:  Hart (30) Chet (18)
PF:        Chet (12)

But it doesn't even matter if the math checks out because if you go back and look at that original statement it says "at least" which means I never stated they would only start and finish games together. 

I don't mind having disagreements, but I have a problem when replies to my posts imply I said things I didn't say.

They're doing this without Hartenstein being out with injury. Evan Mobley has been a monster for Cleveland. He might be in the MIP discussion this year.

The NBA has suspended Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid for three games for altercation shoving a columnist in a postgame locker room.
