Message: [QUOTE="PacoSwede, post: 5256541, member: 120"] my views 100% .... particularly the final graph, which makes a point i think many overlook. all these teams that are counting on portal pretties to boost their chances next season may in fact be undermining them. lots of teams could benefit, but for elite teams it well could backfire -- they face a big risk of ruining chemistry by bringing in superior talent, or even equal talent, to their big veteran stars or wanta-be stars. it can be done, but it's far from a good bet ... even if team spirit is maintained, the new blood has to be integrated into a new on-court reality, which is a tough task.
