I fricking guarantee you that the marching orders are to win next season. And here's the thing, it's almost like some of the posters seem to think that you have be high lottery team until . . . bingo . . . you're a contender with three all stars and a nine man deep rotation. At some point, this team is going to have to move forward. It's not the end of the world to have an intermediate step, or take a baby step to put it another way, and have a season of contending for a 6-8 seed. Hopefully, by then you are in a position to add the final pieces that, along with continued improvement of your young players, makes you a contender

Exactly, perfectly said. You have to be build a winning team, then a playoff team, then maybe, just maybe a title team. Also, making the playoffs isn't that big of a deal. Over half the league makes it. With 3 players in the top 50ish (Gordon, Davis, Anderson, maybe Vasquez?) playing full time, this team should already be there. Monty and Dell need to figure out some fit issues.. Vasquez/Gordon and Davis/Anderson, plus I expect two major additions this summer (lottery, FA, trade?) then we are on the way. If we don't make the playoffs, something major went wrong and heads should roll. I'm ready for this wasted season to be over and get the shite going..
