but Dwight would probably still be there, and those picks wouldnt be as good

And people wanting us to have tanked for 8th in a terrible draft. Jesus, we need to hire a coach already so I can check out again until Summer league.
You nailed it. This fan base is loaded with people who can not see any positives.
Majority of the time.. Well atleast here.. It's the European fans that are like this.
I don't think they understand how things work.

Wow that's a big statement, that's like classifying all Africans or all Asians when the reality is there are dozens of countries in both continents and very different cultures and beliefs.
I'm 'European' and I'm pretty certain I've been posting longer than most (when I bother because the quality is so poor at times) and I know what's going on and I see the "Europeans" knowing what's going on.
Also please don't bundle 50+ nations under 1 umbrella and assume because they don't agree with the majority or your opinion they are ignorant because you are the one who's acting ignorant by doing that my friend....

No ones doing that.
Seems more like insecurity to me..

I know it may not have been your intention, just don't want it to derail into that sort of discussion.

Do you really want to act like other fans don't have a right to be disappointed with results so far?
Do you really want to act like we've got some kind of certain destiny for a championship with our current roster, or what Scott Skiles was doing?
You can try and brush those away with "improvements", but then you're just failing to see the bigger picture and goal of the franchise.
I see some people calling out 'fair weather fans' whilst backing a post of people saying they just want to hire a coach so they can 'check out for the summer'. That's just pure hypocrisy.
You're all the same lot that are only able to comment on what's right in front of you. Don't blame other people for asking what may be around the corner when you're happy to blindly continue speeding at it at 100mph.
If you want to have digs at people who pose questions and take a stance of certainty, then ante up and put some stakes on the line. If you're not prepared to do that then you're just a coward taking pot shots from the back row.
You can hide under a veil of 'positivity' all you want. But that doesn't shield you from being ignorant.
