Oh, Treliving also never hired an elite coach either.
They won't blow it up though. Going to tinker around the edges hoping to catch lightning in a bottle one year before the main core is all either too old, too expensive or gone altogether.

Sneak into the playoffs, draft mediocre, stay mediocre. Sweet!
