Nooo...home grown talent is always the best way...1st round drafted players are locked up for 9 years through their rookie contract and second contract. Players entering free agency are usutally 9+ year veterans who become very expensive and usually decline....very very rarely they produce more value then their salary. Look at all the biggest names to change their teams in free agency over the the last few years...Lebron, Durant, Amare Stoudemire, Carlos Booze, Dwight, Lamarcus Aldridge, Al Horford, Wade...among these players only Lebron and possibly Durant produced more value then their salary in the 3rd contract...rest all have become hard to get rid of contracts. Aldride and Dwight were ok because of a steep increase in cap...even then their teams have found it hard to trade them. Clippers dodged a major bullet in case of CP3...they would have been forced to offer a 200 M+ contract for a 32 year old player. These contracts are almost always a disaster...only mvp level players can perform at a level that justifies a contract like that and no way paul can play at that level for 5 years. Clippers got a good return on Paul....but Doc will mess it up for sure. Stars in the first 9 years are the best value in NBA...Spurs have been great for a long time because they are so good at developing young talent. Even for Curry, I dont like the 200+ Million contract but atleast he is only 29 and if the falls of at age 32...then Warriors will only have a 2 year headache with some 85 million left on their books. |
