There is always fans in a fanbase who are pessimistic about their own players values.

That was then. Every season and TD is different and you need the right set of conditions for the magic to happy. Through the last draft, offseason and early season the conditions have not been there.
I'm not pessimistic. I think Conroy would do a good deal in heartbeat if he could. It's just not there.
Hopefully it is there by TD, but it might not be and that's pretty scary for fans. The pessimism is a coping mechanism.
