and a boatload of cap space that will be almost useless in place that has NEVER attracted top FA's
Cap space can be useful in other ways, such as accepting toxic contracts in trades for the price of a likely lottery pick. You're more likely to get a good draft pick with a chance to get a star that way than by trading Pierce and Garnett.
Very good point
Yeah, that's how Cleveland landed Kyrie Irving. (How monumentally stupid of the Clippers not to insist on #1 protection on that pick.) OKC also obtained the draft pick they used on Serge Ibaka by taking on excess salary.
True to say, but why would you wait to get picks, and take on bad contracts, when apparently we're already being offered players like Bledsoe,DJordan,Barnes,Ezelie,KLeonard,TSplitter(though none of these absolutely confirmed), and or picks, with expiring contracts RIGHT NOW, when you have a team that most would concede has virtually no chance at winning a title---just so you can see KG and PP retire in green??
We could start rebuilding NOW, with young players with execellent potential to ADD to RR,AB,Sully, and maybe Melo and be off to a good start TODAY, not two or three years from now!
Because all those players you mentioned are good players but not difference makers
