It's not like they didn't try. Dwight/Lebron/Wade, they didn't want to come here. It had nothing to do with money. Again, how is that Jerry's fault? At least put the blame where it belongs.
The reason we aren't handing out huge contracts that would put us over the cap now is BECAUSE we want to have financial flexibility to acquire a 2nd star for Rose in the near future.
Just blindly going over the cap is not necassarily going to make us better, you know? You have to make smart moves, both from a basketball and a financial point of view. Thats why not every big spending team is a good team. They spend, but they don't make good moves.
