We wouldn't have this problem, if Billy King and Co. didn't dish out lifetime contracts to players who give decent performance. Yeah, McKie is finally playing good again, but after the Finals year he had the shoulder, the ankle, and they signed him to that long deal. Kenny Thomas performed okay, they give him 7 years for $50 million.
It's just aggravating. If King was really serious about making a winner here, he'd stop cementing us with these players with contracts no one will want to take off our hands. And giving up the draft picks doesn't help either. That's the most frustrating thing about the whole "they won't win with Iverson" logic, AI can win with anyone, but you need more than blue collar guys to win championships, especially when these guys are getting paid the way they are:
I mean, wow, Corey Maggette signed a 6 year $42 million contract, which is a year and $8 million less than Kenny Thomas', now does that come anywhere near close to making sense?
