OK, amateur GM’s.

Under the current CBA, which is more damaging to your team?

1. Overpay to re-sign your player, or

2. Let him walk for nothing.

In the old days, we’d probably choose to overpay, recognize that we have a negative contract, but one that can be traded for another overpaid player that fits our needs better.

But now?

Those trades are much harder to find and execute than before.

I think I’d argue that it’s better, long-term, to let them walk for nothing.
