re: Does dell get fired if we miss the playoffs?

I'm going to be pissed as frick if we don't make the playoffs. It'll mean a team of mediocrity. We'll have derailed the rebuilding process and given the sixers a top 14 pick.

All our cap space will be locked up for years if our key guys aren't good enough to make a playoff run. We won't be able to trade for too much talent if our acquisitions turn us into a mediocre team for the future.

This is a make or break year IMO. Somebody better get the axe if we miss the playoffs.
