Don't insult people in your conversations with them.You just keep moving nonsensical goal posts.
If anything, I have moved them closer, by making your very broad point more specific. I do not think that any time a vet comes in that it means a bunch of the players are trash, but I think that is probably the case when:
1: That vet was available all year and cut from another NBA team that has no depth that could use a rotation player in preseason
2: That vet is in his prime
3: That vet played at the same level he has previously played at and showed no new abilities / skills
I also specified that it doesn't mean that such a player deserves a roster spot over players he is better than 100% of the time. It can be the case they hope a guy like Terry will improve later, but as it stands right now, he's worse than a guy who is fringe talent.
These goalposts were created by you, not me, I was responding to your question in specificity, I didn't initiate it or take the conversation in that direction.
Clearly there are veteran players that can make an impact that are not on rosters even still. It's why players are being signed.
There aren't a lot of guys who fit the above situation being signed. Who else do you think fits in that category that is being signed? If so, which players on those teams do you think are clearly NBA players but worse than the guy being signed?
You think you are so right about the team being bad that you can't imagine anything but a tear down.
Did you just accuse me of moving goal posts? I said nothing about tearing the team down or saying they were bad. I said Dalen Terry is bad.
