On an ideological ground, won't we in the future be able to manage minutes more precisely? I know it depends on a lot of stuff, but for example, in this year's NBA finals Jameer Nelson and Rafer Alston split minutes in 2 or 3 games. Alston would play quarters 1 and 3, Nelson would play 2 and 4. But I reckon this would hurt some interesting aspects of this game, like the need of carefully managing lineups to maximize minutes and training
