I dont understand why everyone is so confident. I wonder if these people go to the games and see the crowds or live in the city and hear the lack of hype surrounding this team. Or the lack of promotion by the team locally. Or the fact that the top 15 selling jerseys came out today and Anthony Davis is no where to be found. That is alarming to me. Dude's a top 6-7 player and no one knows who he is.

This teams needs to win, and win with Anthony Davis. Im not sure they can endure another rebuild where they have to trade off their best player to start over again. Which is why this regime needed to be gone yesterday. The same people that think they are secure are the same ones with blind faith in what we have going on right now.

Blind faith? I think all of us acknowledge that the FO is a dumpster fire and the HC is not good. I don't want Gentry fired this season because I don't trust Demps to pick a coach that won't end disastrously yet give Demps more job security in the process. That's how much "faith" I have in them.

But they have 2 superstar talents now, and not just 2 random superstars, AD/DC are friends off the court and they see the potential to be something special. If they both resign/extend in the summer of 2018 it almost doesn't matter who the GM/HC are. Talent trumps all in the NBA. The odds of the Pels keeping AD long term are significantly better today than they were 2 months ago.

IIRC you have your doubts about Cousins so you may not agree how he helps the situation. But it doesn't matter what you think or what I think. It matters what AD thinks and so far he seems to like it.
