I have serious doubts the fan base will give the necessary support if it takes the better part of a decade to get back in the playoffs again, but I'll do my part and buy tickets when I'm in town.

You are wrong and catastrophizing. Most people who care about this team will endure short term pain for long term gain. We want elite prospects. It doesn't have to take a decade, the sooner the bottom drops out the better. But if you're already emotionally overwrought you aren't being realistic about how this team gets better.
