Feel like teams were handing out $150 million dollars deals to mediocre but promising players just to keep them happy. (Looks at the entire Toronto Raptors roster) Not so much anymore.
Front offices sometimes need to be willing to let players walk. Sometimes for nothing.
Think of all the teams that have a player or two they'd gladly release from their contracts with no compensation whatsoever.
Hardy? Martin? Powell?
Does Grimes fall in that category? Would Philly pay him $10m, but let him walk before they paid him $25?
