Players top priorities are: Money, winning, and minutes

We can offer minutes/role but so can a lot of other teams. We can offer money, but so can everyone else. And we can't offer a guarantee at winning at a high level

So I think that it's a safe assumption that we won't be at the top of anyone's wish list, and the only way we get guys is if we outbid everyone else. Which, in this market, means a vast overpay

So having a young franchise player like AD is not much of an allure to these guys? Is that an indication of lack of faith in our coaching and/or management to build a winner?

Which also means we don't get guys who will be maxed unless we are the only ones who will go there. This was always the case though. Batum was never a legit option for the Pels. Parsons probably has suitors willing to max him though better shot at him due to the injuries.

ETA - And Parson now meeting with the Blazers tonight/tomorrow.
