That's funny.

I do believe you're right, by the way. Like I said, I understand some hesitation about him, but I don't think there was a good reason not to take his fourth-year option and really find out.

Re McCants, though, I'm not set on saying he's not a quality starter, either. I sort of doubt it, but due to his scoring ability, tenacity on both ends (sometimes) and pretty decent passing, I am encouraged somewhat: he can be a legitimate, valuable NBA rotation player, at the very least. That's more than Green has proved. And while Green hasn't had a shot here, he did get an extended audition last year in Boston. (But then, of course, the youth argument comes in again, and a person would question whether an audition at age 19 or 20 even matters...)

Anyway, I'd have picked up the option and would be playing him a lot more than they are. And either this or next trade deadline, I'd probably move one of those two.
