Message: [QUOTE="kingtidge, post: 5057402, member: 994"] Market rate is probably the more apt term, sorry (corrected) - the value the market will pay for a commodity. Like anything else, every purchase/player/situation is different and you have to have your own top-end max value for a player based on expected ROI. Also, you need to look at portal performance trends over time for a program and we're still in early days with the portal and how it's evolving. My worry is programs with a majority of misses on their plan A's and that are getting mostly plan B's, C's, or lower, etc... That sort of portal performance is really going to ensure mediocrity or worse for a program over the longterm (unless you can somehow savant "Moneyball" odd-faced pieces that collectively perform better than their individual talent - and that is really hard to do in b-ball.) To be or not to be competitive... [/QUOTE]
