But I agree with the weighing of options. Last summer he was (a) being told a deal was possible and (b) was dealing with a guy who scored 49 points in 56 games (and 58 in 70 the year before). What’s the return on a one year rental player like that?

That's the job. Dealing with uncertainty and making the best decisions based on that uncertainty. If you don't get results - you get fired. Its not fair - but its the job they are hired to do.
