I think your first sentence is very likely EXTREMELY misguided.Jimmy Butler, Rajon Rondo, Marcus Morris etc. there are attitude guys all over the league, always have been, always will be. The smart FOs figure out who has on court value and figure out the attitude issues when they're there.
And, pointing out the positives of being a good teammate, employee, person, team-culture guy isn't the same as claiming it's ok to overpay for that.
A person is not a car. A person's attitude about what goals you're trying to accomplish, as well as how effectively they can work with others to accomplish them, play a large part in determining how successful they/you will be. A car is a inanimate piece of machinery that does only what it was designed to do.

If you aren't careful, you're driving out with most all your wants and things you could care less about. You're not negotiating with a car, you're negotiating with the salesman.
