But what about the $8M dollar players who played at dime levels? I'll agree with you on the draft, but Lin and Asik was a "shiny object" strategy. And maybe McHale is better than I give him credit for, but I don't think he's very good either.

I'm not going to argue McHale is a great coach, but I was impressed how well he used the talent he had. He put the ball in Harden and Lin's hands and let them create in isolation. A lot of people on this board hated the offense, because against elite defense it was definitely stagnant. But he played to his team's strengths. They had no post scoring, but they had two guys who could break the D down off the dribble and several perimeter shooters. And Asik is an elite screen guy, which is an undersold talent on offense.
