Is it possible I have a clue what I'm doing? :lol: there's still good players in expansion.

I'm not trying to imply that you're dumb, more that you're reckless.

Six pages of debating if getting mostly inactive free players is better than getting active players AND still getting around the same amount of mostly inactive free players?

Hmm.

If only these two competing philosophies were being trialled by different teams. I wish we had some way, say in about 7 weeks at the end of Season 2, to compare which strategy was more effective.

If there was a 100 TPE corner on the board at the top of the 3rd round, I think Vegas would take that player so I'm sitting on the side of the move being Probably Good.

I give up. Apparently opportunity cost is not a real thing.

Don't worry man it's not the last thing that the Liberty will be giving up on this season

Let's assume everything you've said is correct (for the record I vehemently disagree with what you're saying) but let's suppose.

Vegas decided that paying an extra cost to secure the players they wanted was worth it. An expansion draft is an uncertain proposition. Vegas and Philly are not teammates. You and Vegas can't collude. Opportunity cost doesn't factor into an uncertain environment.

I still don't understand the problem you're having. It honestly just sounds like you're upset that your team is behind?

We'll see, the offseason hasn't even started yet.
