> “The raw, unfiltered truth is, I haven’t yet crafted the immediate vision for the franchise,” he says. “There are a lot of talented and high-character players on the team. I want to get to know them a little bit. The construct of a team isn’t just a matter of what is demonstrated on the court. It’s not just a matter of the box score. Team dynamics are personal, and I think that I need to understand those things before hatching an actionable plan. And I know that that’s not necessarily measurable in this moment. But it is the truth.
> “Then the question is, well, are you going to trade Brad? Are you going to keep Brad? I don’t know. I would like to meet with Brad. I haven’t yet met with Brad. What are you going to do with K.P.? What are you going to do with Kuz? I don’t know. They have choices. They have the power of choice, as does Brad. So, what I really want to do is I want to get to know these guys. If the visions align for being competitive and doing things the right way with a little bit of patience, absolutely there’s a path forward with them.
> “I don’t think we’re going to be an overnight title contender; that I’m pretty confident about. And so, if they would rather pursue immediate winning, then they probably do have to pursue that somewhere else. But I think that there’s a very open dialog, a very open invitation to talk about the future of the team — the near-term future and the long-term future — and see where goals align and see where they don’t align.”
~~So, I’m gonna say… I think this is a lie. It’s a strategic lie. We know that Winger submitted his 5-year plan to Ted for approval weeks ago. I think if he wants to do a rebuild he has already planned it out, but he obviously can’t say that publicly because he needs to negotiate contracts and trades in the meanwhile. But I do think Winger has already submitted his rebuild plan.~~

You’d have to take everything he is saying right now with a grain of salt. At least we’re looking at a kind of rebuild even if it’s a soft tank.
