We're getting four picks in the first 40 here in this upcoming draft.

Hopefully a couple of these will have some tantalizing aspects to them, whether it's skill, abilities, or performance.

or projection in the future of what they can be, and then sell hope down the line instead.

Nobody is expecting RJ or Gold, whoever comes in, and turn this into a playoff team right away.

So don't chase it.

Stick with it now, and whether it's one, two, or three years, I would be okay with that.

I don't know about everybody else, but that would be the...

You need a little bit more time.

It's not one pick.

You look at the teams that are having success around the league.

They have these top four picks.

And it's not just one of them they have.

They have accumulated these over time, and it's two or three or even four of those guys, and then you add to them afterwards.

But you need your homegrown talent to shine through, to carry the load, and then find the pieces that are missing around them through trades, through free agency, when the time is right.

No, because again, yeah, he's been an assistant general manager and he's been part of it.

But again, the decision-based,

is lying somewhere else.

And I know that now we're crisscrossing into things here when Rutherford Zillow, Alvin, wasn't in charge of everything.

Hopefully, whoever comes in is in charge of everything in terms of player personnel, decision-based, and then you can let them have a whack at it sometimes.

When you're a little lower on the totem pole, so to speak, you're agreeing with what the boss is saying.
