Miscalculated power move in a world where the brightest, young stars hold all the power.
"let's save $1-2mil per year on our RFA young stars so we can overpay the supporting cast". Bad move.

You nailed it. This is precisely where Brad went wrong.
If the player drives your team & offense, invest in them accordingly. It's not the area to hardball to save on cap space while you pay the supporting guys who don't bring as much to the table more than they're worth.
That how you lose good will and have it come back to bite you later.
