Line of thinking? Has anyone here stated they don't want top picks? No, it's how you have to get them and the long term risk it involves. The rebuild crowd makes it seem like it's "just that easy". Just sell your top guys and you're on the road to recovery. You mentioned luck, well it also takes lots of special kind of "luck" to get a top pick. So much so, we've never done it. Not even after we sold off our team in the 90's.
Well at this point we have no choice but to see what this group can do. So far they're not off to a very good start but maybe a new coach will make a big difference. If it doesn't though then we're in a pretty poor position. So I get the fear of growing pains and potentially not getting the luck you hope for, but you usually have to go through those growing pains if you ever want to be more than a bubble team.
