Amen.
True..but I would rather invest on guys who I think could grow to be real assets or have development in front of them. It is not my money though.
I may be stretching it, but lets looks at New Orleans last year. Would you rather have Burke, Brown, Chriss, Boban taking up your end of your roster. Or would you rather scout good and wind up with Herb Jones (second round pick), Trey Murphy (#17 pick last year), Jose Alvarado (undrafted), Larry Nance Jr (throw in a trade).
All of those guys played last year for New Orleans and more importantly are in their plans this upcoming year. All outside of Nance are on good contracts and if Nance is healthy he is a solid trade asset if they wish to move him in the future.
