Whatever we end up doing in this draft, even if it's something where I would throw my popcorn at the screen if Nico, Riccardi, and/or Finley were doing it, I will likely react, "Hmm, interesting," and be fine, curious, and extremely optimistic about how it will pan out because we have *two grown basketball men* in charge. First time since Nellie, and better than that. To be quite honest, I don't think that happens. I think I'll be wowed, amazed, and thrilled.
I would not presume that Nico et al. know better than me. I know for a fact that Masai and Schmitz know better than me.
Ah, the honeymoon.
When our newest acquisition appears better than any other, the epitome of perfection, grace, and beauty.
All is good in the world, our outlook is rosy, and the painful realities of failure and disappointment haven't disrupted our reality.
...but give us a couple of draft flops, maybe a trade or two that doesn't work in our favor, and our wandering eyes will be longingly glancing at Presti and Stevens once again.
