Very unsettling to my "don't sweat what you can't control" life mantra to have to face the panic mob after every win.
And just because people are lumping things incorrectly ...
I'm not saying you're less of a fan because you cheer for a loss.
I am saying you're annoying to bring it up as a panic point after every win.
I'm not saying the team shouldn't rebuild.
I'm not saying the team shouldn't move veterans for value.
I am saying I'm good with them assessing the market and making that move when it's prudent.

Who is panicking? They're just saying it isnt going to help. You're dramaticizing things.
Tapping your toes and pretending everything is rainbows and sunshine after wins while they leapfrog teams isn't everybody's approach. It can be yours, but it isnt fair to knock other people who choose a stance of intellectual honesty just for having that stance.
And that doesn't mean they're living in hell or denying reality.
It's an odd place to gingerly lecture people on an eastern-derived philosophy on life (and its a good approach in most facets). But I think you're taking it to the wrong crowd. Pro sports fans generally arent receptive because the whole draw of sports is founded on emotionally-based incentives. And its in the irrationality of fandom for a specific team/colours that people are drawn to participate. If we didnt have these debates of optimism/pessimism and direction we wouldn't have fandom to begin with.
You say don't sweat what you cant control, but it looks to me like you're pushing against fans saying things you can't control. They're going to speak their minds regardless of how sound you believe your arguments to be. So why not take your own wisdom?
Ironically your presence in post game threads hammering on the same argument tells me that you're one of the more perturbed ones here..respectfully.
