Re: Dead franchise walking...we got a dead franchise walking here!
Every team has it bad, Rawse. Some worse. Try watching your team trying to make the playoffs with no hope of title contention, and end up with a middle of the road pick for 3 out of the last 4 years. The playoff year was a feel-good story that lasted 2 weeks, and we knew it was everybody's contract year.
Watch your team try to make the playoffs, with no chance of winning, and all the while realizing the best young potential you have on your team is Luke Ridnour. Nobody develops. And at the end of the year, you hope all this bull**** you sat through last season would wash over. Then the GM picks Robert Swift, or Saer Sene. Another rookie that you won't get to see play.
At least Boston and Memphis have young talent to develop, so there is actually a point to playing basketball. In Seattle, it's the same group of vets for 3 years that are proven to be mediocre, play with mediocre effort, and end up with a mediocre record. This #2 pick is the light at the end of the tunnel.
Memphis will get theirs soon enough. For now, you have Gay and Lowry.
