It’s not, really. It becomes a long process when you make mistakes or miss on picks, and once it does the chances of becoming a cup winner go down significantly.
Like, let’s not pretend Florida was “learning how to win.”
They went from mediocre to contender because an elite young player wanted to be traded there.
