There’s flawed logic on both sides of the argument, but paying top dollar to high profile free agents who were once drafted in the top 3-5 anyone can do, and is not the basis for the rebuild advocates insistence on adding these players. The real value is having these (elite) players when they’re cost controlled and are outperforming their salaries, giving the team the opportunity to add more depth and talent across the roster than when their contracts that span their free agency kick in.
This fact we have top picks on our roster is always trotted out and misses the whole point.
