1st overall superstar face-of-the-franchise wants out (allegedly?), 3rd overall promising prospect wants out. Where do you draw the line? 2nd overall stud dman wants out? Bishop? Free agents? Coach has gotta be more replaceable than the players at some point. They endured some pretty #### seasons for these guys.
I'd be pretty frustrated as a fan of that team... but of course I would also have a phoney Cup win, so maybe it cancels out.
