I agree that being mediocre is not something to be really proud of.  But
fighting your way to the top, and I mean fighting (not just losing to get a
good draft pick) is definitely something to be proud of.  This team does
not have all that bad of players.  If I was a GM I would want Radja,
Wesley, Barros, Fox, Walker, and maybe even Todd Day on my team.  Granted
they are making a lot of dough, but who isn't in today's NBA?  What I am
saying is that a couple of key Free Agent pickups or trades could bring
this team into playoff contention.
