If we go into another full rebuild now and lose for 4+ more years, Glen is going to either sell the franchise or move it to another city because that attendance number isn't going up for another rebuilding project. I for one do not want to tank just to see another city reap the benefits because nobody in this state is going to want to watch another 4 years minimum of losing. Do you guys think Seattle enjoys watching the Thunder contend every year? Not to mention that if another full rebuild fails, you've just turned a 10 year drought into a 20 year drought. 10 years is too long to find it acceptable to me to go right back to the bottom in hopes you get a contender. We had our shot at drafting the pieces for a contender and missed, so now it is time to start making the playoffs maybe get to a few second rounds and we can rebuild in another 10 years when we aren't scarred by a 10 year losing drought. If it's the difference between keeping the team and losing it which it realistically could be, then I take door #2 10 out of 10 times.
Is this what is known as Kahnsian economics?
