KG as Sixth Man

Unless Kevin Garnett is struggling following right knee surgery, there is no way that Rivers brings him off the bench. --Globe

No one liked my idea of using Baby as the back-up 3. Fine. But I don't see why bringing KG off the bench is considered so ridiculous. If it were up to me, KG would be playing 28-32 minutes per game. The best way to accomplish that is by bringing him off the bench. The first part of games don't matter any way, just look at the 2008 NBA Finals for proof. And the drop off between Sheed and KG won't be huge. Plus, you give Sheed a reward for signing with us, if that's what he wants. Most importantly, you now have a player who unquestionably brings energy off the bench and can make an immediate impact. No less important, he becomes the quarterback of a second unit that is starting to look intimidating.
