Good to hear from you atomicnixon. Although in the past I agreed with the idea of bringing in veterans to shape a team, I think the salary cap has forced most teams to change their approach. Every team needs guys with character and good work ethic (veterans are a sure way to bring that to the table), but the salary cap limits a teams ability to spend on guys like that. If I personally were a general manager, I'd only have a few actual stars on my roster and rely more on signing underated guys who have chips on their shoulders. Guys like that develop a team spirit that says "us against the world." When you have enough guys with that kind of motivation and fire, it becomes contagious and makes a team dangerous.
