When you are rebuilding, you rebuild.
You completely tear down the roster to give yourself a blank slate. You do that so at ANY time, you can add more talent via trade. You can add more talent in the offseason...or you can wait until the season, or the following offseason.
You get your young players as many minutes as possible. You try out players that weren't given a shot elsewhere.
You save your owner some money in a shitty year. I know that some fans don't want to think like this, but its an economic reality and a plus. Get over it.
Its all about flexibility in the rebuild. And Okafor and Ariza were anchors around our neck. You shed all the guys you can that are in no way part of a long term process. Move on.

I'm not obsessing over it and I've been over it. I just suggested that the team might have been better off not doing it and, obviously, everybody disagrees. It's totally fine with me. I don't see how it saved them any money this season though. They had to buy out Lewis and then sign Lopez to take Okafor's spot. That's a wash.

This really wasn't the case, though. Benson still had to pay all those dead contracts. It was just that he is willing to take a hit this year to get ourselves out of the tiny box the Shinn crammed the roster into.
