PS: But the upcoming draft, the greatest future talent draft in ages,
could save them, if they hire a competent GM and are willing to
give up something to move up in the draft. But will they have the
fortitude to make such a move?

Good point - however, i dont think they will make the move.  The 
mentality seems to be to win now and be as competitive as possible. 
Given the new owners and their investment, I dont think they can afford 
to wait.  Also, if you want to build for the future (short term - 2 or 3 
years down the line) you need to try to buy out Baker, trade Pierce or 
Walker and start to bring in guys who fit in the non obie ball system...
