That's a question, not a statement. Show me where in that question I called Delon, Seth and Bobi the Master Plan. I actually spelled out to you what I think the Master Plan was multiple times, and it wasn't Delon, Seth and Curry.

You don't grade them based on their plan. You grade them based on your plan.

I think that there's some truth to this. It turns out, it looks like Kemba was the only star they were interested in. They didn't do a good job of managing fan and media expectations or responding to our disappointment. I was with everyone else in criticizing it when it happened.
