That's pretty much it, in a nutshell. Listen...this team isn't even
mediocre. Simply shuffling some mediocre talent around isn't going to get
them anywhere. Keeping all that mediocre talent and just adding a draft
pick isn't going to get them anywhere. Simply adding a draft pick or
acquiring talent like Vonteego Cummings and Adonal Foyle is going to put
them in contention for the 8th playoff spot, "at best"...and is that going
to be Rick's big accomplishment with this team after 4 years? It's time for
him to take a chance on something other than a Danny Fortson-type talent.
