2. Too many assets = teams wanting an unreasonable haul from Danny.
4. If the C's only big assets (BKN 18, LAL/SAC 18) aren't offered, Pritchard will settle for another contender willing to part with multiple 1sts in 2019, 2010, etc. and beyond, including a young prospect.
I've heard #2 a number of times now and I still don't get it. The value of PG doesn't change based on the assets a certain team has. Just because I have more money walking into the grocery store doesn't mean I'm going to pay more. What it does mean is that if another suitor offers more than what I am currently offering I probably have the ability to up my offer. But teams aren't going to take a lesser offer just because the Cs have more assets. Thats absurd.
Imagine grocery store with one piece of bread. 5 people come in and offer similar amount of money. You are the one who has more money to offer than others and grocer knows that. Now it all depends how much do you want that piece of bread. Maybe you don't want that piece of bread that much, then it's cool and you just walk away. If you do then grocer can try to squeeze out from you as much as he can or he just gives that piece of bread to one of the other 4.
