Message: [QUOTE="miamicuse, post: 5402399, member: 7237"] I am not sure. If chemistry is that important every team would want to keep their existing roster together so they would grow together. The nature force of nil money bags pull them apart regardless resulting in the one and done model today. Will recruiting two or three players reduce cohesion and ramp up time? May be, but you can also fall into a trap of "you want to sign me you better sign my buddy Blow..." resulting in getting extra baggages you don't want. I think a good coach can achieve team cohesion if he uses the summer and preseason time to put the pieces together. I would say keeping your critical pieces from one year to the next is more important. Not only you are getting familiarity and chemistry, you are also getting senior leadership and less new pieces to work in. A lot is riding on Red. [/QUOTE]
