No, i don't mean he deserves it.

But his stats looks he only worth half the money, if we want to trade him soon, shouldn't we give him more minutes to inflate his value?

I really think we could be trading him and Lee at some point.   It might be worth it to "showcase" him.    I am scared of Kris Joseph as PP backup but in some ways he is a better player than Etwaun Moore if this does go down.

Unfortunately i think the actual front offices oif nba teams have basic stat guys who know that 15 points in 36 minutes is no better than 10 points in 24 minutes even though there are still scores of announcers who still live in the "i dont care what the stats say, green is a 15 point per game player!" camp. Except the C's apparently.

He's 25 games removed from open heart surgery. Who told you he's in a condition to play more?

Well, I'm not a doctor but it would seem to me that when it concerns the heart and the strenuous activity of professional basketball, someone should either be able to play significant minutes after being fully cleared for months or none at all.  If his heart isn't recovered yet, even playing a little should be very dangerous.

Don't know why it seems that way to you. That would pretty much imply that every player coming back from a surgery should be ready to jump in the fray and play 35 minutes per game, which is clearly not true.

Not at the 4.

Who told you he's not?

Even if this was a minutes restriction type of injury/recovery has any player ever been restricted for 3+ months after they return?

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa

Um, because players return from heart surgery to the NBA every year...

Ugh, if I never have to see Green play a single, solitary second for the C's, I'd be a happy man.

Watching him play hurts my eyes.

Um, I said any player ever returning from injury.

Come on, are you seriously trying to make me look dumb on this?
