It's funny, I think fans obsessively loath the guy who makes $17 million who is probably a $10 million player, but you're going to need those guys to facillitate trades for high end starters in the league for salary matching reasons. High end starters make $28-$40 million, and then there are a lot of guys making $4-$12. Doesn't seem like there's as much in the middle. It's hard to trade for one of the first group with a collection of the latter without absolutely gutting your team. And most contending teams want to add to their existing talent base, they don't want to just swap out high end starters. Hard to find a lot of landing spots for guys like Love with teams who can match his salary without gutting their team of depth.
