Within that piece, Hollinger raised the idea of potentially staggering the minutes of Jeremy Lin and James Harden, allowing each to get more time as the team’s primary playmaker since both players are currently better and more effective when the ball is in their hands.
The basic theory behind the concept is sound, though it does come with a pair of caveats: A.) With Delfino out (and now Parsons), the Rockets have been perilously thin at the wing position, which obviously limits the amount of lineup tinkering the Rockets are able to do. And B.) There’s also merit to the idea that, big picture, both Lin and Harden will benefit enormously by working their way through whatever growing pains exist. Both players need to get better playing off the ball; something that takes time, repetition, trial and error. Also, the biggest thing holding the pairing back thus far has been Lin’s struggles in spot-up situations, something he’s working tirelessly to improve upon and something that, at the very least, should eventually fall closer in line to his historical norms in that area. That is to say: Lin might not be a knockdown, deadeye shooter at this point in his career, but he’s much better than he’s shown thus far.
All that having been said, the staggered minute suggestion is something Sampson has toyed with and, assuming a fully healthy roster, something fans might see more of in the near future as well.
“In an ideal world, maybe we take (Harden) out in the first rotation so he can go back to being on the floor with our second unit,” said Sampson. “That’s something we’ve got to really look at is making sure we know who’s going to be on the floor. The other night it didn’t matter because we didn’t have our normal bench but if Chandler’s healthy and Carlos is healthy then I think … our bench can be an asset for us.
“Moving James out first and letting Jeremy play with Carlos and Chandler, then when we put Toney back in, Toney goes in with James – that’s something that we’re looking at. In running and coaching a team, you’re always looking at different ways of maximizing the strengths of who you have on the floor.”"
