I doubt that any of the other 29 teams in the nba would have started Jefferson for crying out loud, especially because we have young promising players in a year of development!

I guess it really depends what the plan for burks is in the future. I mean, if the front office etc. see him as the 6th man of this team going forward (which i can fully understand), then why not put him in that role now and use Jefferson as filler in the starting lineup?

It's definitely an option, I just feel like all the young players should have been given the opportunity to start at the beginning of the season, then get moved to the bench if it was working. But it's still good to see them get some more consistent minutes and I wouldn't be surprised if they are starting after the all-star break or something.

I disagree. Reward players with a starting role. Don't punish players if they struggle a little by demoting them.

Spurs opt'ed to guarantee his contract through the end of the season 3 weeks ago and then waived him on Thursday to pick up Jeffers? Sounds a little strange.

Not strange. Both Green and Kawhi are out with injuries, so a wing is needed. Othyus has probably been the best SF in the D-league this season. They reluctantly let Thomas go
 
Apparently Pop thought he could make an okay stretch-four, as per SpursTalk
