We've had Chris Paul, Anthony Davis and Zion since 2006 and we've made the playoffs 5 times in that span, only won two of those series.

That's beyond the usual issues that come with a small market franchise, that is just pure incompetency. It also looks so fricking bad that players we've traded away in the last two years ended up being key pieces on championship teams in the year we traded them.

I get part of being a fan is sticking through the good times, the bad times, always hoping for the best and all that bullshite. But what about this franchise gives you any hope going forward?

And it's not like it's as a simple as changes at the top, it's fricking systemic. Since 2006, we've gone through five different head coaches, three different general managers and two different ownerships... and regardless of who is in charge, every perceived step forward, we take like five steps backward.

It’s starts at the top.

You rarely find good teams with poor ownership.

And for all they have done for football, the Benson’s have so far not shown themselves to be all that much better than Shinn when it comes to managing an NBA franchise. They’ll spend more to a point, but they kept Demps far too long and fired the wrong person in the Monty/Demps power struggle, hired the wrong replacement and are now letting him sabotage their second generational talent they were gifted. Things are trending near the sewer in the Zion era and I’m not sure I’m clear Gayle has an idea of a way out?

Honestly I’m not sure what this franchise should do if the Zion stuff is real and seemingly near irrecoverable? Or Zion really is this immature? It’s probably still sacrilege, but if true, and this season doesn’t change his attitude completely, I’d honestly say trade him. Trade him for the biggest haul in history and hopefully third times the charm for the Benson’s.

I hope it doesn’t come to that, but if this season is either a catastrophe or worse, we make the play in and Zion is still acting like a child, it’s time to recognize reality and move on. Clean house, hope to god Gayle has learned enough lessons and they do it correctly for once
