Do you expect a professional sports team to try to lose on purpose? Id be ashamed of the team if that were the case.
While I don't agree with trading youth for vets at this stage, I don't see any issues with the team improving for this season as well as the future this offseason. Why can't we have both? There seems to be far to many folks on here expecting Feaster to do all in his power to ensure this team is dead last next year. As a competitive person who has played the game my whole life, I can not get behind a team trying to lose, and I'm sure management has the same view. We will need a good mix of youth and vets next season and beyond in order to be a contender one day. There is no reason to ice a team of all under 25 aged players next year.
That philly trade is not that bad, we would get 2 youngish good players and still get a reasonably high pick in the dradt. I don't love it but its no reason to lynch the management team imo.
Maybe I'm overreacting here but Id hate to see nothing but moves for prospects this offseason, I don't want to watch a team get crushed 82 games next year

You sir are definitely NOT overreacting, unlike many of the idiotic comments being made lately.
