That's fair and understandable.
Personally, I don't expect there would be much of a difference between those two scenarios, entertainment wise, when it comes to the on court product (which is what I take as your meaning based on past conversations). What I MIGHT find more entertaining is a little sprinkle of hope, no matter how unlikely realized, that would come from guys like De Larrea, just as an example. Look how talked about Christie has been around here. Why? Because he's not in his 30's. For me, the most exciting way forward is to snag as much potential as you can.
And, they don't HAVE to be super young players, either. But, they have to fit with Flagg.
And, I admit, May might have a vision for how some of these guys can fit that I don't see yet, so I'm willing to give it all a chance. I'm just saying that 36 wins vs. 26 wins does next to nothing for me, personally.
