No, that's how you're interpreting it. Right?

Isn't this what they've been doing since 2019? It hasn't really worked, has it?
Part of the reason there are no players to re-sign is that they haven't been able to keep any of their depth over the last 3-5 years; it's the near-constant rotation of middle and bottom 6 players, and the same goes for the defence all while not actually being good enough to go far in the spring.
It's not ridiculous to say that keeping this roster construction with a three headed cap hydra is a concession in itself because you just can't fill the rest of the team as best as you could, yet this NBA "stars over anything" mentality still persists; why? We've had no success with it.
Colorado has changed, and they've actually won something...
It's not cherry-picking when he makes as much as he does. He gets paid what he does to produce points, and he's a 90-point scorer, as you've pointed out.
If he wants to be paid like Rantanen, then produce and have success like he has.
Well, kind of; by saying more than 90, you are inferring it's better than 90 when really he's only paced like that twice. 21-22 and this season. So, whether it's 90 or 96, it's more or less the same value.
90 is 90, and that's impressive, so it doesn't need to be glossed up.
You do need star players; three at one position (for that much $) is the problem.
If we had drafted Werenski instead of Marner, this wouldn't be as much of an issue.
