Now add on to the fact that this move is highly likely to make it much more difficult to get FA's to come here and probably to resign our players when they become FA's.

I don't think waiving Finley will hurt our chances of signing FA's anymore than Playstations and fluffy bench chairs helped them. Players know it's a business...if Shaq can be traded anybody's expendable.
FA will still go for money 1st and a chance to win 2nd. PXH is about to trade Quinton Richardson after signing him as a FA just a year ago. Sac traded Webber after he built that team back to respectability...it happens all over the league. If our young guys develop and we continue to win, Dirk will resign...if we're losing he may want to leave but unlike Nash a team will be willing to sing and trade for him.

Not always true, in fact often not true. Look at Kandi, he wouldn't even talk to us the last time he was a free agent even though we had the same money as the Twolves to spend and had finshed tied with the best record in basketball the previous year and went to the WCF.
Sorry, business is business. And business involves personal relationships. If you consistently crap on people word gets around and people will avoid doing business with you if they think you'll screw them on the 1st opportunity.
