I hear you, but if we make trades that only work for one year (Shaq) that doesn't help the team get better with the focus on just winning this season, it's not realistic.  The coach is being told by Dan Gilbert to win, but I think it'd be smarter to focus on building and going young to be better a year or two from now.  I think the competition is too fierce in the East to matter.  Orlando, Boston, Miami, Chicago...  C'mon...   We're gonna get crushed.  Trying to build the team around Moe Williams is gonna do what for us two years from now?

I think it's too optimistic to think we'll be healthy 100% anyway.  Never gonna happen, and we're gonna have a lot of young dudes out there we don't even know getting railroaded by these other teams.

I can't see it.  Like I said though, it could change, there are surely gonna be some trades that take place to help the team out.

I can agree with the first part, but that will really depend on how the trades go and who we end up with on the court.  I can't look at anyone and assume they are sticking around.  Well, except the guys we can't trade away.  They are likely trying to work some deals, but I don't think anyone wants to come here.  Not now.  We look like losers, and nobody wants to go to the losing side.
