Granted... but worth $1M/week?
This reminds me of when the Kings got Gretzky. He didn't go there because it was a prestigious team, or a kick-ass coach, or huge potential... he went there because of the $$$$$. An HE was the greatest player of all time!
It's an example of buying a team is sometimes easier than making one.
A) Buying a team is
not the same as buying a championship (See Yankees, New York, time immemorable - present).
Edit: I'll bet it's significantly cheaper to buy a championship.
and 2) You're worth whatever somebody will pay you to do what you do.
I don't think it's worth it, but obviously someone does, don't they?
Re Gretztky, he got paid. There's lots more free cash running around LA than Edmonton (isn't that surprising?). Who can blame him?
