I don't understand. To everyone who is saying that we need to go out and spend money on FAs to make us a contender, who, exactly do you want us to sign?
Durant is going back to OKC. It's not only the logical move but also should be a surprise to no one.
After that, you have Howard and Horford and a bunch of role players. Assuming that we could somehow make them sign here, Howard and Horford are good, but neither makes us a champion this year and, if it comes to a choice between a team that makes the second round of the playoffs (at best) for the next four years and keeping our powder dry to sign a couple of stars in 2017 and 18, I'll take the latter every day of the week.
And if we can't sign stars in 2017 or 18? BFD. It's not like we are a champion with H&H. We'll rebuild through the draft and that will be that.
But seriously, this idea that we aren't attracting stars because we're not spending money is ridiculous. We're not attracting stars for the same reason that everyone else isn't: There are none to attract.
