    That is the key. Those general fans will show up after the process is completed. Assuming all the pieces fall into the right places, we get a little of the luck we haven't had, etc. So hopefully in around 3 years we start winning and those bandwagon fans will show. "Management" has to know part of tanking means suffering through not having the bandwagon people in the short term.

    Thank you. We need to stop falling for the "bandwagon fans/whine & cheesers/casual NBA watchers at the end of the rainbow" routine. Ever since the Bobs started people have been proclaiming the end is near every year, and here we are at Year 8. Our end goal is not getting some non-loyal fans onboard, or end goal is winning a title and putting a contender on the floor.

    People forgot how hard Boston tanked for the Oden pick that year. Even though they didn't get the #1 pick like they wanted, they had a high lotto pick and it led directly to them getting straight into contention.

    Hell, Miami tanked it up too. Beasley didn't work out, but they laid low long enough in FA to allow themselves a great opportunity down the road.

    Well, I see King Taharqa has infringed on my Carolina Cougars logo exclusivity agreement but since he is from "Bobcat Country" I guess it is alright!
