I think it's just a difference in philosophy. Brad does everything long-term.

He'd rather have a good team for 10 years than a great team for 1. I don't know if there's an objective right way to go about it. Teams have bought at the deadline and won and teams have done nothing at the deadline and won. Teams have repeatedly bought at the deadline and maintained long-term success and teams have bought at the deadline and had it blow up in their face.
