Then once you get these kids or you trade them for players, it might take them 18 months, two years to be effective in the league.

Like, trying to put a timeline on this is nonsense.

What has to happen is there has to be a plan, and the plan's got to be believable.

It can't be fantasy land.

They want to fix the defense?

Good.

Go fix it.

With who?

Yeah.

And I guess what becomes at the end is the plan changes.

The internal plan has to be one that's realistic.

I often wonder about when guys get these jobs in teams that are in turmoil, which I guess is the reason why there's a new general manager, is that part of their message is full of it.

And the people above them go, oh, yeah, I like that, because that'll be a little quicker.

I've not seen anybody turn it around quick.

I've not.

And if you're in the 75-point range or whatever some of those teams are, it just doesn't happen fast.

Look, Chicago's had first-round pick, first-round pick, first-round pick.

Like, wait till they get this Frondell kid in next year and people get to watch him.

He's a terrific, unreal prospect, like Leo Carlson-like prospect.

He's 19 years old, and that's one.
