Very true. Great point (although, to be nitpicky, "almost always" is probably more accurate, as sometimes teams do become desperate for space; but we lose sight of that, since we've never seen Mavs having sales skills to "sell" their cap space to desperate teams, like other teams do.)
One disclaimer also needs to be included -- "good players" gets defined relative not only by the ability to play, but also by the contract that's attached.
