I agree a lot of teams that are successful don't go from worst to first like we did with Ray, Paul and KG. the warriors were a really bad team. Lost in the 1st round a couple years and semis then won a championship. This whole reasoning we are stuck in no man's land is silly. Most teams actually do it that way.
Right now we have a young team with a lot of room to get better. We aren't the hawks. We don't have a bunch of average star players locked in max deals. Totally different situation.
A lot of teams aren't going to hand us a championship but with smart trades, free agent signings and drafting we are fine.
