Signing DeRozan for 28 mil and a couple of average guys for remaining money is not really an achievement for a recruiter. Example...
I said in the free agency thread that getting Derozan means we whiffed on the better players we were or should have been targeting - Kawhi, CP3, Collins, Ball, Holmes, Allen, or Conley. By our old standards, he'd be a win. Since they're all in on recruiting, they *must* be successful on that front. That's how evaluation works - if you say, "I'm going all in on this, and it's my greatest strength," then that's where you'd better succeed.
