Minutes distribution when KO returns from injury

So if the playoff look like a strong possibility it is incumbent upon this team to continue to play their very best players and try to win. putting bad rookies developments to the background. Why?

Playoff revenue?

. . .

And yes, I don't like Olynyk. One poster seemed to like my quote on him so very much, its in his sig. Glad he loves genius because so far I am a lot more right than wrong.

I'm glad to say that Wyc aren't so short-sighted that they value playoff revenue from a couple of home playoff games as highly as you seem to.

  They might not value it as much as Nick but I'd say that they place a higher priority on winning and making the playoffs than you think they do.

I think those guys care about getting more rings.  I'm sure they like making the playoffs and getting more money, but since they gave the go ahead for the KG / Pierce trade I'm guessing they are willing to miss the playoffs for a year or two so long as doing so helps develop players and put together a team that can make the playoffs and be relevant for many years to come.

Anyways, since you're so confident in your abilities as a talent evaluator that you're willing to judge players after just a month and a half or so, I'm curious what you thought about Anthony Bennett heading into the draft?

Or how about . . . Otto Porter, or Alex Len?

None of the above players, by the way, have shown even half as much as Olynyk, so far.

Not sure what I said there that makes you think I was so high on those players.

Do I more thorough search next time and check out how I really feel about the whole draft last year. Picking a few players to say they would be good trash, still makes them trash. And yes, I will say when I am wrong. Last I checked many of those professional scouts and GMs get fired for getting their draft evaluations and talent evaluations wrong year in and year out.

Not going any further with this. Don't like where its going and I made a promise to behave on this site to a friend so, I'm out. Have fun with the last word.

I appreciate that. 

Anyway, the thread I linked at least makes clear that you thought the aforementioned players will most likely make it in the league, while you've never been shy about proclaiming Olynyk a terrible pick, a bust before he ever took the floor.

We all make mistakes.  I'm guessing not many people on these forums are actual experts, or else we'd be doing this for a living instead of arguing with people we'll never met in real life.

My guess is that he would get Favs minutes.

  Yes, they care about rings. They probably don't have the attitude that if they don't have the horses to win the title they should be as bad as possible for as long as it takes to get those players. Maybe they gave the go ahead for the trade because they were willing to miss the playoffs, maybe they gave the go ahead for the trade because they decided (after the playoffs last year) that PP and KG weren't going to be difference makers going forward.
