Neal simply isn't doing that as evidenced by the unprecedented success this franchise is experiencing.

Not a single guy in that room cares what Neal is making either. He is the one guy in there that has been to the finals twice, and most certainly will talk to the group about how to get there and what to expect.
The last part is 100% untrue. In the salary cap era guys very much care what other people on the team are making. There is a pre set amount of money to go around.

Also the “cup experience” point you try to make is pretty much word for word part of what the Brouwer defense was for his poor performance.
