Mr Aquilini and his minions have failed to provide a stimulating platform for Quinn to perform on.

Or just leave the team as it is with zero player movement because what you see is what you get and picking top 10 is inevitable?
Tank, it’s a good class. Would love to be in a position to get lucky on the lottery roll for the 1st OA. McKenna not intrigue you?
Imagine the Booty from a Hughes trade this deadline if we retained to close the deal. It doesn't have to be with NJ even.

If the mediocrity continues to Xmas then you have to come up with a path forward which includes moving on from premium assets at their peak to bring back the type of package that can give a true rebuild the boost it needs.

A top 5 pick with a decent % chance at winning the lottery, another 1st rounder or 2 in a deep draught... All moves that require serious testicular fortitude
If you need air...call it in

For the first time ever I see QH wanting to leave. If the team does it right they could actually be better long term.

I was sooooooo excited about this year and had high expectations. Now I see the same thing that we saw last year.

I’m still going to watch and cheer the team on for wins, something about the team is off. Way too many games being outshot. Need to correct that to get some W’s happening.

Still got to believe.

Speaking of Hughes, he doesn’t seem like his usual self right now. Still early, but I’ve seen much better versions of Quinton. Too early for alarm bells
Well, he’s out with a lower-body injury. Hopefully just a nagging thing that everybody agreed would be better addressed with rehab and rest.

This compressed schedule blows.
Love the Sport. Love the Team.

Hate the League.
