What does it all mean?

Go ahead and roll up your assets and make a deal for the player you want.

It's hard to argue with that even if you don't think you're a contender this year. The hope is that all this winning raises the value of our reasonably priced role players and that, like you said, we can find a trade that we win. I'd be hesitant to sacrifice too much of our depth. I guess I'm feeling greedy. The Clippers were able to build a team with two stars AND a deep, talented supporting cast. I'd sure like to try to pursue that end goal, even though I know we haven't gone the exact same road.
