Another way to look at it is modern free agency began in 1992 which is around the same time he took over. Those horrible stats all coincide with modern free agency.

It's really hard to win if you rely totally on the draft as in any draft you may get 2 starters. What if you need a C or a G and the guys you draft at those positions aren't hits? Odds are they won't be. Do you keep chasing those positions in the draft? Or do you just sign a proven starter?

It HAS to be a combination of both.....even Paul made trades that complimented the team.  Think about the guys he traded for, Joiner, Brooks, Bacon, etc, etc.
