re: The importance of losing

Even if Shabazz and porter arent franchise small forwards the fact that they'll be legitimate starters making less than $5 million a year for the next four years is in itself is good enough reason to lose for them.

With the money you save on a player like that you could open your wallet for a true star center or point guard if one becomes available

Porter for $3 million a year is way better than Rudy Gay for $18 million a year it's a no-brainer
