And they haven't rushed out and overpayed anyone, including their RFAs. In hindsight, their only boneheaded free agency move that I can remember was the KK offer sheet, but it was a decent risk to take at the time.

Yeah, you are absolutely right.
I didn’t aim my talking point correctly.
It was based on they do not give out contracts because they feel they need to win today or this year, they are fine with walking away from them and losing the assets they could have traded them for because they’ve already been so great with all of their other assets in that time.
Slow and steady moving upwards with a war chest not a send it and hope for the best.
San Jose model until it wasn’t.
