Well done! I always felt that San Antonio was shortsighted for dealing Lonnie Walker, Dejounte Murray and Derrick White. Any one of them would be better for Wemby, but Derrick would have been excellent in any setting.This year's final four is showing the value of players in Derrick's category: PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford, Mike Conley, NAW, TJ McConnell and Aaron Nesmith: players that fit into a team instead of superstars that warp a team's functionality, suck up cap space and trade assets.

Thanks! And yeah, the era of the superstar-driven super team might be dead, or at least on life support! Which makes all the remaining teams so much more diverse and interesting.
