Well, if you only have room for one max free agent this year, it would be unlikely that you convince someone on that level to come. If ye can have the discipline to hold off for one more offseason though, and let most of the space you will have rollover one more year, then you will be able to buy a ton of talent in Summer 2011. The question is whether the fanbase will be able to live with that, and be happy with the idea that if you can't get a Max FA at the end of this season - you should hold off on doing much at all for the bigger payoff down the road.
