If I had a coupon for 50% off rattlesnakes, and I did not want a rattlesnake. I would still buy the rattlesnakes for 50% off, and then sell them to someone that wants a rattlesnake

You might be able to unload those rattlesnakes for as much as you paid for them, or you might not. They were on sale for a reason. You might just end up with a bunch of rattlesnakes, when you could have had a nice puppy. 

The point is, it is perfectly legitimate not to buy something you don't want enough to pay whatever the price is. Especially in the case of NBA players. They might turn into a treasure trove, or you might just have a white elephant on your hands. 

I think of Courtney Lee as part of the price of acquiring KP. If we didn't have Lee, we wouldn't have KP. They tried to get something extra for him, but it didn't happen. Still worth it to have KP. Or that's what I say, anyway.

Puppies, rattlesnakes and bears, oh my!

I wanted them to use Lee for something big, sucks they didn't find that opportunity. IMO they should have at least found a kick the ball down the field type of deal that gets them assets to sweeten any deal they can make this offseason. That didn't happen either. That sucks more. It just sucks. Lots of things have sucked in the last 10 years, a few things haven't.

I'm still so confused about how the Suns literally paid another team to take on Warren, like wtf were we doing when they were shopping him? I wonder if we even inquired about him.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Suns owner has a deep hatred for our owner. We haven't dealt with them since the Steve Nash trade and they've done a lot of wheelin and dealin along the way. No way of knowing for sure though, just a hunch.
