Doom and Gloom:
The ultimate doom and gloom is we can't sign anyone and we're forced to retain Lee, Harrington, Duhon. That's the ultimate doom and gloom. However even if that happens we could still go ahead and absorb, say, Elton Brand off the Sixers hands for nothing in return.
So at the very worst, the very very worst, we bring back a 30 win team and add a pretty good player to it. Then we hope that we can do the same the following offseason and suddenly be a pretty good team.
Whoas me, that's just terrible, that the worst case scenario, is pretty good in it's own right.
