Wow. We just recovered from salary cap hell; assembled a balanced, young team. To mold, and develop alongside already-legit players. And use said cap and chemistry and reputation to get a big beast to make us Pat The Rat exterminators....
And someone is demanding we sign:
Arenas (massive, nearly immovable contract loaded with franchise-crippling risk)
AI (the definition of a washed up ex-superstar)
Camby (36yr old multi-year contract big man when we have 4-5 young guys signed who are primed to explode)
None of these players have any business being on our team.
Signing them --might-- ensure us a playoff berth. It would also virtually ensure 1st round exits; or an Isiah-esque crippling of our franchise (eg Arenas).
All when we are finally primed to ball, contend, and feasibly reach for a dynasty?
