It's more that teams can rely on cheaper, cost controlled players (i.e. Orlando) to put up similar or better production.
Alex Rios seemed to save all of his 2015 mojo for some super clutch hits in the playoffs. That however, does not erase that he put up worse offensive numbers than Esky during the season... with far worse defense to go along with it.
