If I were to venture a reason, it would probably be that Kidd is still trying things out, and he may already have a good bit more information on Josh than he does on Brown.
It is certainly possible that Green will step up. My own guesstimate would be that he may be more likely to do that a little later in the season, and that Bullock would probably be the more likely immediate beneficiary of Brown's minutes being cut. However, that is just based on my three-game observation of their various performances, and not on anything I have heard from a team source or from sourced reports.
What say you on the subject?
As much to my dismay I don't think Green has shown enough to warrant a fixture in the rotation. But if he doesn't get minutes how can he improve? Tough cycle.
I do think the opposite on your timeline though. I believe as the season progresses Kidd will solidify his playoff rotation versus early on he let the young guns fill in the gaps. Overall I think it's more likely that Reggie gets a bump in minutes than Josh taking over Brown's time, and if it ever happens it'll probably come in November than February.
Fortunately (unfortunately?) S.Brown is out tonight against the Spurs so I suppose we'll put this question to the test and see what Kidd chooses.
