Who Gets the Minutes? - KingsFans Forums
I'm betting that Thompson averages 10 minutes a game next year.
Hawes maybe averages 15 minutes a game.
Miller and Miki still get the vast amount of minutes.
Maybe Sheldon plays every now and more if somebody gets injured.
(Of course, KT will be sitting all the while on the bench smirking).
Reggie wants to go the playoffs next year, right?
So do really think that Thompson and Hawes are going to be getting 30+ minutes a game?
20+ minutes a game?
I think Reggie plays Miller and Miki like mules until the last game that we are officially out the playoffs next year.
How many minutes do you think Thompson and Hawes average next year?

I hope thompson and hawes get a lot of minutes to try and improve, but i doubt they will get much minutes with miller and moore.

Hawes will get at least 20 a game...too bad we have those old men holding our young bigs down :/

Well if we get rid of one of Miller or Moore..
That frees up so much more time for the youngsters..(Hawes, Thompson, Williams)
Hawes could split the time at Center with the remaining vet...and
Thompson and Williams could battle it out for minutes at PF...
honestly tho im sure most would agree with me that we want to see Hawes and Thompson eventually starting together next year.
Which is IMO best case scenario.

Reggie doesn't seem to like developing players much, so I suppose it depends on how hard Geoff and the Maloofs lean on him.
I'm not expecting them to get as many minutes as they would elsewhere, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Reggie seems to play the guys who give it their best night in and night out.
who knows...

I'd almost bet you'll be proven wrong.
Reggie did pretty good developing players at New Mexico, and I think he's going to be very happy to be able to do so again with a nice group of young players.
I strongly suspect we're going to see some interesting player movement once July gets here.
The Maloofs may not have wanted to "rebuild" but we're in rebuild mode now, and I think they've given Petrie the green light to get it done.

Your righ VF not sure who if anybody decent is coming but, I am willing to bet a few are going.

I remember somewhere in the articles that petrie said they will accelerate hawe's growth...
meaning one of the bigs will go this summer..
a lot of teams NEED a guy like miller like Cleveland (they need low post scoring and passing BAD) Chicago (scoring Center) and Minnesota..
so im guessing if brad goes Spencer takes 30 mins mikki starts at 4 and gets 30 plus mins and Jthompson gets 15 or so minutes....
And Shelden gets 5
if brad stays..
Spencer gets 10 and THompson gets 5 and Shelden gets 5
either way if they WANT to accelerate the growth of these players then they need to move the logjam in our bigs...
Namely KT SAR, Moore and Brad....
Moore has no problem being the energy bench kind of guy...
But heres to hoping thompson out works the other bigs and gets playing time together with hawes

yeah the maloofs probably got a little nudge from reality and Started the rebuilding just NOW....
Technically our rebuild mode was last year and now...
Musselman didnt count...
God that group was a mess...
maloofs have always wanted the compete and rebuild mode at the same time...
Sadly it didnt work :P

My guess is Thompson starts.
He's ready physically and has the bball IQ, skillset to build on.
He's probably the best PF we have already.

I have to disagree because I feel you start the rebuild through the draft, and the players that were obtainable by the Kings weren't sought after.
I think there might be a move or two, but I think the biggest news this summer in re: to the Kings will be whether or not Artest stays, and/or Beno re-signs.
I don't think there will be any trades before the start of the year.
The kings just don't seem to do the whole "trade thing" when the team isn't very good.
Not sure why when the Kings suck we don't make moves, but when we are good it seems we pull the trigger a lot more.
BTW;
I believe Thompson will get minutes.
Theus's job is secure and I think he won't be worried about wins as he was last year as long as he coaches well, the product on the floor is trying, and the players get along with the coaching staff.
