history more in terms of expecting a series of complex trades to happen to improve the team. Sure, its theoretically possible, but how likely?
We needed to make some moves this year, and take another step. Instead we've made bottom pairing lateral moves, and still have a logjam in the F group with no signs of improvement, you can argue we've taken a step back.
Its just my 2 cents, but a blow up is a much easier, clearer path to a contender than the mess we have now.
