The New Orleans Pelicans plan to use newly acquired swingman Tyreke Evans off the bench.
Pelicans coach Monty Williams revealed his plan Monday, the day before the team began training camp.
"We talked to [Evans] about that this summer, and it wasn't an issue for him," Williams said, according to the Times-Picayune. "I don't think guys worry about [being in the starting lineup] anymore. I think they are more concerned with the minutes -- if the minutes are still where they could be."

To be fair that article came out months after the trade. I'm sure Evans would have agreed to anything to get the biggest contract. But I'm sure the team had a bigger role in mind for him and that would have to include starting.
If the best bench player in the league (JR Smith) is only getting 5-6M a year, why would you give someone 11M to do the same thing? Heck, Manu only makes 7M now. I know minutes are more important than who starts. But guys still want to start..
