Here we are, trying to fill all of the same holes we had last season when players were signing deals at a discount last year. And we all know they still won't fill them all like they should.
And even worse, none of the bums we "got a look at" deserved it to begin with.
Dipoto doesn't deserve an A if for no other reason than not correctly evaluating his own team when they were ready to make a push at the playoffs.
Dude was late to his own party.
It would have been so much easier if we had spent last year on a couple players. One can only imagine if Boy Wonder still had the aura ha carried into the season last year. It’s difficult to solve the obvious holes in one off-season and throw in the lockout and it’s a shitshow
1. Do nothing the prior off season to ensure you have to do everything this offseason
2. Have a bitter parting of ways with one of the top five most popular players in team history
3. Box yourself into a corner by going public with what you Aren't going to do
4. Make sure there is a likely lock out during the critical offseason
