Hopefully the organization doesn't have the same loser mentality as the fans.

Loser mentality? Lmao. This years team fostered and nurtured that mentality with their bi polar play. They are the embodiment of that mentality this year.
Heaven forbid fans see writing on the wall and want to see the team focus on getting stronger for next year and onward.
I think anyone postulating doing nothing or desperately going all in at the deadline are the weird ones. Why waste draft picks or not acquire any based on a hunch that a team you simply dont know what you're going to get consistently night after night can make anything happen in the post season.
I think if they went all in and squandered the future on 1 round the fan base and ownership would lose their minds. So now you got nothing this year and next year and possibly the year after to show for it. That's the loser mentality I hate.
