Very interesting point about guys with Kings tattooed on their butts as having a different mindset/commitment level/easiness to coach than mercenary aging free agents who aren't worried about the future of the organization beyond whether they'll get another contract. Crystallized the whole thing really.
People always talk about character and sticking up for each other and all that, and what better way to foster that than to grow from within? If you take two otherwise equivalent or marginally equivalent players at a position in an age range or cost level, and one of them is a potential King For Life, which guy do you want?
