We are more like the Nuggets and Kings and Pacers and Bucks or any other team that lacks a solid identity. It's ok though, things will settle down and the team will continue building. There will be no competing for a championship until someone becomes a super star. Hopefully Favors will grow into the KG/Dwight role.
Sloan was that last link to a magic era. For me, that's when everything really changed. But Deron being traded makes things feel even stranger, it's true. I'll tell you what, though, I'm excited for the future now. Can't wait to get a look at Devin and Mr. Favors. It's also going to be exciting to have a solid draft pick again (and potentially even higher than this year's).
