you should NOT be able to either spin it freely, like a BMX bike or have resistance that you would need a pipe wrench to make it rotate.

there should be pressure because the pads sit on the rotor kinda. this way, it keeps the pads warm

NO, no pressure. Contact yes, but no pressure

It probably won't spin more than a 1/2 turn flinging it by hand, with the wheel/tire mounted you would probably get a rotation or two with the added weight.
