How does it confuse anything? Brooks only plays one position. There is either minutes for him there or not.
well because I would like Tyreke to get 30+ min with them being at PG/SG. but you got 2 serviceable PG's and Jimmer that deserve time as well. then and SG MT deserves 30+ min there. THE ONLY PLACE that only has 1 player (Johnson) that deserves min is at SF. IT just so happens Tyreke played that position last year. do I want him getting 30 min at SF hell no. But if it keeps Salmons off the floor and get MT 30+min and the pgs time plus jImmer a min or 2 here and there then i don't mind.

So Tyreke you want 30+, Cousins 30+, Thornton 30+ and I assume JJ 30+. Sound right?

Maybe Smart is resting DMC so he can go up against D12 on Thurs.
I am guessing back to back had something to do with it. plus 8pts 5 reb in the first few min pretty much tells you Cousins is locked and loaded lets get some other guys some work you never know when somebody will sprain an ankle

I looked at your lineup and I agree with that whole heartedly. right on brother. Only one problem. you like many others are living in a dream world. I have faced reality. Smart isn't playing Reke at PG. So you either sit back and ***** and moan about it all season long. or you try to figure a scenerio where what he is doing is going to work. If you don't get used to it now this is going to be miserable season for you. I have accepted reality and just want to see what happens becaue actually tonight is really the only time Tyreke has seen alot of SF. nobody minds 20 min a game right now. lets see what happens when they do mind.

So if the season started tomorrow, would you guys be happy with a IT/MT/JJ/TRob/DMC lineup with Reke as the 6th Man?
TRob isn't reliable yet. You start Reke or trade him. If you bench him, you just traded him anyway, its just delayed. Meanwhile you trash his trade value.

Brooks/Reke/JJ/JT/Cuz...Hayes in JT's spot there is tempting though.

MT is a natural 6th man type.
 
I think Ndiaye secured his spot as the team's 5th big. He's big, athletic, and he always looks like he's working his tail off.

2pts 5 boards 2 block stat line tonight. I wish I could get a look at his performance in detail

considering his only competition is the 6-9 willie reed who rarely has played id say Ndiaye makes it. UNLESS some other team cuts a player that is better than Ndiaye. It wouldn't take much.

He's trashed his own value by not improving his shot over 3 years. Funny how it would probably take Evans plus a number 1 pick or multiple to trade for Harden or Rubio right now.

His competition is $$. As in will will acutally keep the extra player? If he does make it, I'd almsot guess that meant no more Honeycutt. But we'll see.

pfft

the team, whetehr it be us or somebody else, who stops fighting his game and facilitates it gets a very productive player. Still lots of teams that will take that gamble. Now play him out of positon, take the ball out of his hands, and bench him...well those are the actions of a low grade moron. If you don't wnat him, and your opinion on that one has been a given for years Section, then you play him then trade him. Not trash him then trade him. There is no scenario where that is good for the franchise.
 
Evans is not good enough to be a centerpiece on a GOOD basketball team, too many holes in his game, plus he doesn't have that grab you by the throat mentality that superstars are supposed to have. Cousins does seem to have that "swagger" that the superstars have. At best he is the 3rd best player on a good basketball team imo.
 
We play today. Staring lineup was

Aaron Brooks
Marcus Thornton
Tyreke Evans
Jason Thompson
Demarcus Cousins


We're up but words can't even describe how mad this makes me. I wanna sock Keith Smart in the face for being such an idiot. ughhh...with 2 games left to go till the regular season too..
relax..Coach Smart said that this will NOT be the starting lineup for the regular season..the lineup we see on Thursday will be..
 
None of Kings players were on good basketball teams outside of Hayes and Brooks. Did Chuck looked better with Kings or with Rockets? Hayes is a serviceable offensive player in a system that utilises his passing. On the other hand Brooks is a gunner who doesn't need any system and he looked great with Kings so far. So does Thornton.
