Is it time to blow it up and start collecting ping pong balls?

Feel like this team is just mediocre with not a lot of chances to improve.

Hate to say it but Isiah Era was more exciting than this. Yes he mortgaged our future, but at least he was trying to make impact trades and excite the fanbase even though he was an idiot in the long-run haha.

Yes we have tons of picks and assets (actually do we?) now but where is that getting us?

We need to commit to 3-5 years of 60+ losses and getting the highest chance to have a top 3 pick for all those years before we can fix our talent issues. We are way to mediocre/average team with mostly average players.

It's been time to blow it up and tank for a decade. It's never going to happen.

Its been time a while ago. I dont see how anyone can still root for wins right now. Rooting to be a mid team that can maybe just sneak into the play-in only to be bounced then. Fck that. We need Wemba badly. We need talent. We have too many role players and no blue chip potential stars.
