Draft well, assemble well, build a system, good trades, solid signings, solid performances. Success breeds success.
Shouldn't that have been the mantra before?
Unfortunately some teams chose to operate differently because they believed that was the way to success and in so doing they changed the playing field. Detroit's Mike Ilitch was quoted as saying that he'd probably have to hire 25 more scouts to scour the world in this new environment.
