I said it wrong. It isn't low expectations as much as being OK with low results. And I am not calling out you versus anyone else. We were all going to be ecstatic before the season started if we won over 30 games, and reach a decade of missing the playoffs. This decade has beaten us down over and over and over and we are cheering for small morsels of goodness like it is a feast. It is so disheartening.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 2:13 pmI don't think I have low expectations. I'm just trying to have realistic hopes for how good the team is and what it can be. If anything I think I'm a bit of an optimist. I think our current team core can be pretty darn good if we keep them together and let them learn and grow together. I do want them to make improvements to the roster, but I don't think they have a low long-term ceiling if Booker and Ayton are our two best players.

I hear you. It isn't that I am okay with 30 wins, per se. It's that I don't think we can really do anything to make a larger upward jump in wins than that. Even if we have exactly the right foundation to build a contender, it will take a few years to let the young core grow and become ready to actually be a winning team. That isn't a plea for complacency or low expectations; it's more a call not to panic and trade away valuable core assets, nor to make panic signings and acquisitions, just because we aren't getting enough wins yet.Indy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 6:09 amI said it wrong.

how many cores have we had since 2010? There is a common thread this last decade...
And of course this comes from a guy that just bought season tickets for 2021... so I am part of the problem. This isn't directed at any member here over another.

At this point you should just be happy if there is a 2021 season.

Thank you.
This message of “we need time to let our young core grow before we are ready to add prime FAs and compete for the playoffs” is a total recycle for the last 8 years or so. It’s not working and it’s really getting old.
