Kidd: Earn your minutes
Also Kidd: Promises McGee of a starting spot

Kidd began with McGee as a starter. Obviously he expected he would be the right center for the opening that was available. As they went along, did McGee earn minutes? And then what happened?

If Bertans keeps lighting it up, and Kleber comes back healthy, it should be interesting. I don't think any big gets any guarantees, but if a lot of them are playing well, then the push for minutes for those who play up to it may slide into squeezes at other positions too. (For example, if DFS gets fewer at PF, but then takes some away at SF, and you have whole ripple effect.) It could become a good problem to have, especially when some are playing like suck (see Hardaway, T and Bullock, R).
