Mark didn't even ask Nico about whether Tim was a starter. He just asked for Nico's thoughts about Tim, which I took as a softball question giving Nico a lead-in to say something like, "Oh, Tim has been great for us, blah, blah, blah."
Nico volunteered the starter info, and said it a couple of times. I saw/heard some comments analyzing the possible subtexts of the statement. Like, maybe Tim isn't feeling so hot about being benched, and they're dapping him up. Or, maybe they're trying to announce to possible trade partners that Tim isn't really a bench player, he's totally a starter, and other teams should be eager to pay a high price for him. Maybe. It sounded a lot like Nico was just looking for something to say, but who knows?
Anyway, I don't know what the choice is, at this point. It's not like Bullock was lighting it up, and now he's sick.
