When the core of your team is not ready to compete at a playoff level...why go sign a vet who dominates the ball and makes a ton of money.
A....this will hender the development and confidence of the young guys.
B....You essentially waste your money because usually the big money guys you buy are on the slide downward when your youngins are ready to compete and/or you have a potential star in one of the young guys who u need to pay to keep.
I am not saying we should not spend money..but we can't spend Shaq, Duncan Garnett money and get Marbury Swift Redd type players...we need value.
