Very interesting chart based on Schuhmann's continuity study:

Basically, it should be read the following way:
97% of Spurs minutes last year were played by players still on the roster this season. Then it digs deeper: 77.7% of 2012/13 and 63.2% of 2011/12 minutes were played by 2014/15 Spurs.
Quick notes:
# Philly's rebuilding is impressive when looked this way! One of 3 teams that don't count any player left from their 11/12 roster.
# Raps rank really well considering all the minutes given to Gay at the beggining of last season. This is not a surprise since continuity IS the plan, but I'd love to see what this would look like post Gay trade: I think they'd be up there with OKC/Blazers.
# Miami is surprinsingly stable: 50% of minutes are gone, but they were Lebron, Jones and Allen's. The frame of the team is still there.
# This is a good way to actually see who is in "win now" mode and who is still taking some gambles
