FWIW, I don't personally think waiting around for a disgruntled star is an amazing plan, but I believe this is the way DA sees it:
- He's all about building a championship team, and knows you need star players to do it.
- We've continually said that we don't want a long rebuild, meaning we're not going to rely on drafting and developing a star
I could be wrong about the first bullet point. Maybe DA is fine with just building a nice team that is a perennial playoff team. Potentially we think we can hit lightening in a bottle twice and find another Lauri situation where a good player turns in to an all star under Hardy. I think it's also possible that DA has more intel than us on situations where stars are going to become available in the near future.
