Not neccessarily. I think the Dockery signing is a perfect example. Everyone wanted to resign him but not at the TRULY exhorbitant numbers. No one talked of Dockery being a top 10 guard.
I think we should be up for paying the guy a premium. After letting AP get away over a relatively small percent, I would hope they've learned their lesson. To a certain extent, they have set the market for themselves. If you're gonna throw money at new guys - then treat the locals with the same respect.
Once they've paid off a few talented character guys and stopped overpaying for other guys FA's THEN we can bitch about paying too much for our own - maybe not premium - players.
