...and he WASN'T a starter until very late in the season. They've basically said "congrats on being our best option and helping us get to the Finals. Now, we think we can do better." That's well within their rights, I just hope they didn't overthink this! 

If you're suggesting Marshall will be given a chance to earn the job, maybe. But I suspect they're out there promising Thompson a starting job, and I bet that's what they'll do with the next guy (probably Harris) too. 

Dan's right about one thing: Green, at the moment, is the most PAID like a starter.

I fully expect they are promising Klay a starting job. I'm just saying they were comfortable with DJJ starting if they didn't upgrade that position and they may feel like Marshall can provide the same thing as DJJ.
