I clearly said those vet ring chasers are not producing. Or do you think otherwise?

Nets added that talent, not Lakers. I clearly said buyout market is a lottery and this example just proves it. It's a cherry on top of cake not the cake. Nets added talent in buyout market on top of 160 mil team. Not build team with that guys...

Yes. Do you really think Lakers brought in LeBron only to explain him - you know, we are not really willing to pay tax to build team around you... It is not about THT, it is about ability to build a team. Letting him go for nothing greatly reduces that ability.
