It’s a season full of questions and a short summer to answer some of them.

So a trade or sign/trade of one of the PG's to move higher in the draft makes sense. Losing home advantage in the playoffs will cost the franchise money and I suspect a total collapse at the end of the season will not help season ticket sales(raising the price did not help either). So at the end of the day the board will be a little testy with BC. How that effects his decisions awaits to be seen. Sam just signed a contract so he probably has another year ot two before he truelly feels the heat. Just wondering if this makes sense. Or will BC stay the course and just tweak the roster??

I still see frustration and some sinister looks. What they ARE doing is making life a bit tougher for BC. I can see some potential trade partners looking at this downslide as a great thing in that it will leave a bad taste in the mouth of BC, possibly forcing him to take on a bad exchange of talent. <em>Scott's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AltrapsNews/~3/265125757/' rel="nofollow">Linkage - April 6</a></em> Not sure they have “accepted” it.
