It’s like people think entirely binary. Tank or playoffs. Retool? Not a direction! Average!
What else should they do at this point to make people happy outside of throwing games which they’ve stated unequivocally they will not do. Do people just not like the answer?

Rebuilding (or retooling) is not a one year process. I never said I was unhappy, I think Conroy has done a great job, this season. But what direction they choose to go for next season is pretty important. I think this team needs to accept some time in the basement and have shots at some top 5 picks. I'm not sure they feel that way.
