Franco makes some good points. The fact is that some of the bad contracts on this team will be hard to move. So whether we like it or not (even with a new GM), we are stuck with many of these guys for the next couple years. But that said, it's still really hard to predict if the team will be in the lottery in 2010. If we get the right GM/Coach we could definitely compete for a playoff spot. Especially in the Eastern Conference.
One thing to consider, though, is we are still along ways off from knowing exactly which pick we will have this year. Regardless of how the team finishes, we could be picking 1st or 12th. Also, we still don't know which players will actually be entering the draft. If we were to end up with the 1st pick, then obviously, you have to keep it. But if we end up the 8th pick then maybe we consider giving it to Utah this year instead.
