That's the mindset I'm trying to adopt with this team. It'll make it even nicer when we get out of this hole, whether that's actually getting to contender status, or become a lottery team rebuilding with young players that give the city hope. Either situation is easier to deal with than this. It's the hardest struggle to be in a situation that our fanbase is in, given our history, and given the hope we had going into the postseason. Basically, if you can handle the struggle now, everything will be fine in the future, because it can't get much worse than this. What's your mindset and attitude towards this?
I can always handle the struggle. If I could make it through the Telfair, Ha, Khryapa years, I can make it through this.
I’d rather take it down to the foundation and build back up than stay in mediocre purgatory to be honest. 76ers lookin pretty good to me.
That isn’t an option unless you’re talking about trading both Dame and CJ. Dame is entering his peak years. No way is he going to be okay with a rebuild.
I'm not going to try to rank the various shitty times. Shit is shit. Still a fan through thick and thin though.
High draft pick every year and never make playoffs? They would have an All Star team if they made the right picks in the draft.
I don’t care about sacrificing years of being mediocre to keep ONE player happy. Is Dame an all-star? Yes. Is Dame a Superstar? No. He’s not Kobe. If I could get a top 5 pick for Dame THIS year and a top 10 for CJ while clearing out a couple bad contracts I’d do it in a second.
Well, go toss your application for GM into PA’s inbox. I’m sure he’ll be interested in your opinions.
I get your point. But at least, I would have no hope. I would know we are crap and that's it. Mediocrity is the worst. You have hope, maybe passing 1st round, maybe Conf. finals. And you get swept then. Hurts man.
