If he goes, I'm almost at the point where I want all three to go, and rebuild on the fly. I don't want a mediocre team.

Going off topic but Johnny hasn't proven, in the playoffs at least, that he can carry the team on his back. He was great at times but not dominating by any stretch of the imagination.
This team still needs big steps from all of the big guns and next ones in order to make that elusive next step come playoff time.
