This isn’t a subject about FA, or players having the right to go elsewhere.
So I’m not sure why you are talking about GMs. I’m talking about players literally
reaching out to other megastar players to go after a championship.

That’s why there is a salary cap, so that teams can’t stack all the top players.
There are barriers in place to prevent owners from trying to build super teams.
Durant took a pay cut of 10 million dollars to go join a championship team. He
jumped on the coattails of Steph, an already proven champion, and has yet
to lead a team of his own to a championship victory.

It matters and it will exist as an asterisk on his legacy.
