@RobDauster@GaryParrishCBS Bench depth was their weakness - it was Gillespie, Samuels and DCR (all freshman), and two of them missed significant time with broken hands.
@RobDauster@GaryParrishCBS Simply bad luck - just 1 game behind Xavier and 2 league losses came without Phil Booth (home vs. St. John's missing Booth & Paschall)
@Sam_Vecenie@SCC_tmccanna Who cares - the teams, and their fans, that lost out to Wade on these recruits because they wouldn't pay. Like steroids in baseball - also not really a crime, but hurts those who don't use.
@JohnStolnis Yes, but can't ignore opportunity costs. Overpay one player simply to make him and his agent happy, and then you limit your financial flexibility with the rest of the roster spots.
@JohnStolnis A business can't just pay every employee what they want and expect to remain viable over the long-term. They come up with a valuation and then the marketplace will determine if there is a match between employer/prospective employee.
