there is no replacing AD for sure, but teams that do not have AD can afford to pay guys like JJ, i would much rather have AD but be it Mack or Watt, it seems teams that invest so much in premier defenders often don't make it, then again, only one team wins every year.
I think the biggest thing that has held us back have been contract mistakes. Seems we have one left to deal with and we should finally be ok, but that dead money sticks around for awhile.
