The harsh truth is that some have just gotten used to the bipolar swings in the cycle of failure. A player has a bad spell and they want to trade him. A player on another team has a hot streak and they think he's the savior of team if we can sign him. The team under-performs and they want to trade the whole core and start fresh with a batch of uncertain picks rather than building on what we got and add the missing components.

And the old management is largely at fault for this. They kept adding familiar names to keep themselves in office and treating core players like Tanev like disposable waste just so they could get a little bit of cap space in order to inject knee-jerk supporters with another fix. All the cap issues we're currently seeing stems from this panicked approach but apparently they want a repeat. It doesn't make sense but then again, addiction rarely does. If only we can get one more savior, one more rush, one massive hit of copium, then everything will be alright with the world. Just a lil' bit of uncut John Marino up our noses. Or maybe we can put all of JT on red and spin the wheel. We've already lost so much so what difference does it really make? It is so much better than getting ourselves clean and get a job and start a savings account.

Or. We could do the opposite of that.... But that's boring. "C".
