Exactly. What we are going to start seeing is smart teams trade their overrated “stars” and let another team max them out and get handicapped. Get assets + have you opponents handicapped = winnings long term strategy. If Presti is as smart as some on here think he is he will be shipping off 75% of the roster this way.
