FA just started and the more things change the more things stay the same I guess.it
And I'm sure there will be a ton more ridiculous contracts handed out.
It was about stopping the domination of LA.... and ONLY LA. That seems to be what it was about.
Actually all of those laughable contracts will hurt those teams about 30% more than they would have in 2008.... Paying that much for second/third tier players actually plays into our hands if we can actually cash in on the value we have on the roster....
None of those guys are winning a championship at those prices on those teams....
