    There is an upside to this.........
    We can't play worse then we are playing right now.

    Would be great, but I just don't see it this season KS...and I'm a diehard fan..too much talent at the top. We have to have 6 players scoring in double figures game in and game out and now we're lucky to have 2 players doing that

    Exactly. Last year, they knew their place even if they didn't know their role. This year has now Had a year for scrutiny and rumors to take place. Half of the roster I am sure are playing very tight because they feel they might be in another uniform in a couple months. Hard to play comfortable with that in the back of your mind for sure.

    and Harkless was a reasonable deal at 10 mil per, however the Crabbe and Turner huge contracts are "so far" proving to be a huge mistake and I acknowledge the season is young. Both Crabbe and ET both currently have negative trade value IMO as does Meyers (why we signed him I have no clue). Ezeli while a reasonable gamble at 7 mil for ony a 1 yr committment looks like a strikeout as well as we have no idea when he might play as he seeks a second opinion on his knee. So Neil is 1 for 5 and while Hark has looked solid lets not get carried away yet, the other 3 were not just "blah" they are a almost a 200 mil dollar train wreck and if these guys don't show significant improvement those contracts will hurt this franchise for years

    mathematically no we are not and won't be for a long time, the "eye test" combined with common sense thinking at this time suggests we are out of contention, but of course miracles can happen and this team could use a few miracles
