Treliving learned a valuable lesson on building a contender (I'm sure upper management helped push him to speed up things). Never trade away a first round picks , maybe even seconds, when you are early or in the middle of a rebuild. Never sign over the hill or meh UFA's unless it's the LAST piece of the puzzle! Don't make trades unless you are smarter than the person you are trading with (maybe Treliving shouldn't trade for a while ) etc etc
What we, the fans, now have to live with is a middle of the road team, somewhat slower than the rest, marginally talented, boring to watch on most nights and it isn't going to get better for a couple of years in my opinion. Unless a miracle happens.....
