I agree, but AGAIN, this is fine, IF:
1) you don't make it seem publicly like you're willing to spend, getting everyone's hopes up.
2) you don't continue to make the same mistakes you did for the first decade without being willing to spend your way out of them.
I'm sure I'm looking at all of this in the most negative possible light today. Letting one of only two good players you've drafted over the past decade walk out of the door over money after you've developed him into a near all star tends to have that effect on me. And, I'm sure I'll be ready to get positive again before the season starts, but OMFG they are asking a lot of us as fans right now, imho.
