Teams can still win when their stars have massive contracts but little surprised we haven't heard that they're all in as buyers.

I agree they should be all in, the problem is they don't have any assets worth anything that aren't already in the roster, and those roster pieces have trade inhibiting cap hits.
They just don't have anything to get a deal done. Hall for Larsen gives you an idea of what is out there for them.
