there is no reason to think we can't land a spot this year. Outside of the big 3 or 4, we should be able to play with the likes of Houston, GS, and even Memphis

Are we gonna contend for a title this year? No way. But to say we are delusional if we think will make a playoff run when we haven't even drafted or spent $1 in FA, is just asinine to me.

It's the already built in excuses that make me scratch my head as a fan.

agreed again.

If we strike out in FA, I will back my expectations down a little. If we can get a good free agent or two and get a decent draft pick, I think we can contend for a playoff spot.

Also, we need to see what other teams do as well. Does Dallas or Houston get Dwight Howard? Where does CP3 go? Will Kobe be amnestied? What does the loss of George Karl mean? Will AI opt out and where does he go?

I agree. I think it is more along the lines of saying it is delusional to say it is playoffs or bust. I don't believe that the playoffs are a pipe dream, but I also don't think the season is a complete failure if we don't make the playoffs.
