Huh?
The only, "overpaying," we did, was trading away a decent bench guy (Delon Wright), a now-scrub (CJ Miles) and a good C (Valanciunas) for Gasol. That's it.
We:
- Absolutely fleeced the Spurs on the Leonard/Green trade
- Absolutely fleeced the Magic in getting Ibaka
- Had EVERY other piece on the roster, be a draft pick/homegrown talent, via the G-League, outside of Lowry (who was already here for 7 years)
We didn't overpay for anyone and the proof of that can be seen in how well we're doing this year, without, "Leonard the Saviour."
