every offseason, it seems like something crazy happens. The C's offseason has generally been really good, full of solid drafts, acquisitions, and trades. It would seem to rank as an A.

However, it seems like the moves of the other contenders in LA and MIA have blown ours out of the water. While we've gotten fair and soid deals, they've gotten absolute steals in Dwight and Ray Allen respectively. Suffice to say, on paper, those teams are looking like juggernauts.

Now I'm not one to despair, but  don't think i'm alone when i say that they've got us beat at multiple positions. The way I see it, the only way for the C's to get banner 18 is to revive ubuntu - or at least the 2012 version of it. Individually we may be weaker, but collectively, we can be stronger. This seems like a group of high character guys, willing to sacrifice and share and work hard for the team. I think its possible to pull it off. Admittedly, it's unlikely. Detroit-Pistons-2004-champs unlikely. But it's possible. At least i sincerely hope so. and that something like the training camp overseas will start it all.

Cheers!
