Have to say I respectfully disagree with this assessment. You've got a lot of the pieces right, but I believe the meaning goes a step further-- Jay is basically saying, yes Jeezy, you may get a good rate on a kilo, which is cool for what it's worth, but I have moved on from the game to a whole nother level and am now in the business of drafting free agents to play on my basketball team. It's a mixed metaphor and one that expresses a similar sentiment as "And i don't wear jerseys, I'm thirty plus Give me a crisp pair of jeans n***** button ups".
