I keep saying I think he’s a great number two on a championship team. The elusive number one is missing. Just because he’s the best player on the team doesn’t justify the $11M price tag. If it handcuffs you in the future let some other team make a mistake. It’s a sunk cost.

You are correct he's a great #2 on a championship team.
But do you think the extra 1.5$ million we would pay him is what is stopping us from getting that superstar #1....
