What's now left is that every player you have can leave and go somewhere anytime they want no matter how happy they may currently be just because they get an "Offer they can't refuse". I guess this is where "quality" of player character becomes even more important. You can potentially lose all 5 of your starters that it may have taken 2-3 years to attain just because some other team has boosters with unlimited pockets.

If he leaves it won't be because of the "quality" of his character. He turned down money this season to return. It will be because he doesn't believe this coaching staff can get him to the next level and another coach will. DaRon has shown repeatedly it isn't about the money, it's about the league. People better not dump on him if that's where this ends up.
I'm still hoping he's a first round pick from the University of Dayton. Half of the people on this board saying he isn't NBA ready like to brag about how they don't watch the NBA because they can't stand the style of play.
