We have AD! So we really didn't have to rush it. I would understand that route if AD wasn't on his rookie contract and in his prime. We rushed it too fast.


But if that's the issue then we're fine. We still have AD. Salary cap will not be the reason a superstar doesn't come to NOLA. If Durant or Westbrook wants to join AD, moves will be made. No team would ever turn those guys down because they can't afford them. You turn down end of prime guys or fringe guys with potential because of money. You don't turn down undisputed superstar because of the cap.

Yes but also the superstars look at the whole team to see if it really has potential. Guys like Evans and Asik won't do that for us. The young players are intriguing and we can add players like Wesley Matthews, Batum, Millsap, or Dragic.

A team made of AD, Matthews/Batum/Dragic, with young players like Mccolum, Saric and Noel is more intriguing than AD and Holliday. Yeah those players are making 7 million more than Jrue. But having depth in basketball with 3 other players will make our team overall better for the future. We could resign these guys easily than overpaying for players which will effect us later on.

Overall: I rather have RFA than UFA in the long run.
