Golden State had Bogut and David Lee as their highest paid players last year, and i think Iggy was the next highest paid. Doesn't matter that much when you have young guys on rookie/reasonable deals already.

Dude, using GSW is a terrible example. They have the most underpaid MVP in the history of the league on that roster because of an anomaly in timing.

I said Dallas too, b/c GSW isn't a good example.
You can look at the Clippers paying Jordan as well, and if they were ever all healthy in the playoffs, we might get to actually see if that lineup can win something.

You want to be similar to another championship caliber team, but when you think back over the last 10 or so years, the only championship caliber teams out there have been Lebron's Cleveland and Miami teams, GSW, SAS, DAL, BOS big three, LAL, with the just on the outside OKC and maybe LAC.
We aren't Cle/Miami. We aren't GSW. We can't be SAS b/c our coach sucks. Our hopes are more Bos/LAL/Dal, and we can't attract the FA they did or can. If we could hit in the draft and get a superstar, we could be more like OKC.
If you notice a theme with everyone of those teams, they all have two guys in the backcourt that are all star level, except the two LA teams, who had/have the two bigs and 1 all star back court player.

So we are short two all star type back court players.
