Quote:They have done a really good job of managing the cap and structuring deals.

Depends on whether you are trying to win games or save money. Why would we talk about saving cap space when we are still top 5ish in cap space? That might be good business sense for the guy writing the checks but not for the product on the field. Just like when they talk about spending for Murray, well if you have the most money and he didn't come here then you have yourself to blame(not that I would have wanted him, but to say he wanted too much just means that you are worrying about money too much). The most effecient use of money is not necessarily the best, the point of the game is to win, not have the best wins/dollar spent ratio. People liking this move talk like winning 8 games and missing the playoffs spending 100 mil is better than winning 10 and making the playoffs spending 135 mil. We had huge space last year too, it really helped to look at our balance sheet after each loss and congratulate them on not spending any money on good players.
