Never mind how outdated this plan is, as if free agency is still relevant in today's league - not to mention how incapable of winning games this team actually is, which means everyone from Ballmer on down is also delusional - it shows that they have learned NOTHING at all from the apocalyptic franchise destruction that was 213. They are going to trade Wagler in another idiotic "win now" move for an aging big name who won't "win now," aren't they. Then we'll get to watch him win a ring elsewhere like we already had to do with SGA.
Months ago, I summed up Ballmer's ownership as him continuing to touch the hot stove and being surprised every time when he gets burned, but still never learning from it. This is Exhibit A. Sell the team!
I blew a gasket when I saw this Tweet even though I knew this was the plan all along. This franchise/Ballmer will never learn. Maybe this is the Microsoft way of doing things, I don't know. And its not so much the plan, but its the wording as well. Where's the guy to say something like, "We're going to enjoy the process and development of Yanic, Wagler, Sanders, Baba, etc. and then with our cap space we'll find and piece in the right fits to what we're building with the young guys." -or something of that nature.
But no it's always the "head in the clouds" searching for a savior, another diva to pamper, and by all accounts circumvent the cap all over again. Now's the time to talk realistically and what's actually feasible for a change. Nope, it always has to be "home run -Hardcore- Big splash" talk 24/7/365 with this guy. Why? It doesn't make sense for this current iteration of this ballclub. They already talked all this **** seven years ago and the net result was kicking a two time MVP to the curb for Diva Ball, the Aspiration scandal, five 1st round picks taken away, and Ballmer banned for an entire year. Just Brilliant!
Yes, this losing sucks, the scandal sucked, and everything else sucked. But honestly imo, we deserve this sh*t. I want to see us pull ourselves out of this mess legitimately and strategically and not just search for the next quick fix and shortcut then beat our chest but flame out in the play in or first round, with another scandal attached. Front office and Ballmer is strictly a clown show.
