If the price is right, they can provide value, but they are not worth overpaying. Its a balance, but the mindset should not be that without a specific player in mind for the offseason, I better pull the trigger on whatever I can get now. With the play-in, there are way more buyers than sellers right now. The cost is likely going to be worse now than in the offseason. In addition, we have several contracts that are not appealing at the TDL, but will be expiring in the offseason and much more useful for salary matching. The options/cost should be better in general.
I'm not trying to be annoying, but who turns this team into a contender? Kyrie Irving didn't turn it into a contender.
You're assuming A. the "right" player is there later. And B, we can get him. When has that ever happened? Luca has been here since 2019 and that player still isn't here.
I get your point, really. The "overpayment" I understand. I have limits too. But we have specific problems that are fixable and there are players that can help.
