He's better than Copper. By a mile.
Copper's last catch was in 2007.
Baskett's proven he can stretch the field.

It's not a matter of whether or not he's valuable it's at what price is he valuable. I can wash my car for $3 and get it pretty clean or I can pay $16 and have it somewhat cleaner. I'd rather save the $13.00 unless I know there is some real benefit to a somewhat cleaner car (ie. getting to the promise land).

Is Baskett our ticket to the promise land?

I should clarify that I would really like to have Baskett on the Chiefs, I just can't see the logic of paying him more than anyone else would just because we have it.

This team has money to burn. Remember prior to signing Wade we were almost $9M UNDER the cap floor. $1.5M isn't exactly going to put us in Salary Cap Hell if things don't work out.

No, but that's a moot point. No one player will ever accomplish that all on his own. Building a winning football team requires upgrading several positions until the overall talent level of said team is improved. It's a collection of individual signings that will turn this team around. Baskett can help and is a better option than Terrance Copper.
