Agreed. I believe we were paying 3 different head coaches at once when Willie was hired. That's money Gayle Benson committed. I may be in the minority, but I fully believe we will be a tax team when the right opportunity presents itself.

Ditto. So many want to make something out of the fact that we haven't gone into the tax the last few seasons, but there was no real need to do so. This coming offseason is the one that I have circled as the one that we will have to decide to make a real commitment and be a tax team, or I'll likely join the other side of the ledger.

Last season we were 1 game out of the 3 seed around the trade deadline.

This season we were the 4 seed with about 3 weeks to go in the season.

The opportunity clearly presented itself these past 2 seasons, we did nothing to capitalize on it. We actually went the other way and made moves to avoid the tax and giving up multiple draft picks to do so.

There's a very logical argument that if we made a move to get better and thus go into the tax before last season's deadline, that we would have been a top 6 seed in each of these last 2 seasons.
