This sentiment seems to be really prevalent on this board and I'm not sure why.
This is not a good team right now and not many expected to be.
There's been an injection of youth, we look like we're going to draft very high in a deep draft, and we have assets to sell off at the deadline.
In addition, we have a lot of salary coming off the books this year.
That sounds like the right direction to me in the big picture. In the small picture of this season, we're not heading in the "right" direction in terms of making the playoffs, but I'm at a loss why that notion hasn't been dispelled for some people around here.
It's like there's shock and outrage when we keep losing.
In the big picture, we have a lot of young bright spots, we have some assets that can be sold off at the deadline, we'll draft high, and we have a ton of salary to throw around in free agency this summer.
It just takes a bit of perspective.
