I hadn't thought of it in terms of your first hypothetical. However, I don't think a 2 year turnaround is realistic for this team. We showed a lot of promise at the beginning of the season, but we have also showed that we have a lot of work left to do. So, yes, I would probably still go through with the trade knowing what I know now.

I definitely agree with your second hypothetical - he's our only option at this point.

But having a guy not win for 2 of the 3 years many have said he is signed for...without knowing what he'll do in his 3rd year....is much closer to a failed signing than a success i would say.

You really can't look at MB for last year - he only played half the games. This year, I look more toward him. By next year, he needs to lead this team. I think he's already doing some leading now, but, by the start of next season, there is no doubt whose team this is.
