    Depends. If paying your electrician twice as much meant possibly making MORE money in the long run and a better chance at some shiny, ego-boosting jewelry, then those reservations might start going away.

    You also have to take into effect the increased revenue that would be brought in by a legit 3rd scroring option like artest or bibby. I guarentee you that with another good player it will attract more fans, and the farther you go into the playoffs, the more games that are played at home, which sells more tickets and 7 dollar beers.

    I'd pay the electrician twice if he's 7'6'' and would do some clown dance for me.

    good point. but just b/c you could do it, doesn't mean you should w/o due diligence. in this case, i don't think Les has been restrictive. people seem to think he's being cheap when in fact he's not. if ther'es a deal, he'll pull the trigger.
