I'm with you for the most part. Championships are usually about chemistry, which has taken us years to perfect. This year its finally clicked and all we really did was trade Damp for Chandler.
That said, you have to look for the right price. If that star/superstar comes down the line and its cheap, you gotta jump on that. Maybe not at a discount price but at clearance rate a la Gasol.
then again, we have very few movable pieces. 2011/2013 picks, a few trade exceptions (with no roster spaces to take players with). Other than that its Butler and Stevenson's expirings (10.6/4.2) and cheap players like Jones/Roddy and overpriced players like Haywood (who many teams may balk at).
Haywood might cost us value to get rid of his contract. Butler may come back full strength and trading him would cost us if he came back in the playoffs as well as his bird rights to re-sign him. Roddy is an x-factor that many people both inside and outside the organization dont wanna part with.
