Last year was a tough one and honestly the upcoming year doesn't seem to be looking that rosy either.  They know that this season will test the patience of the long-suffering fans of this once glorious franchise.  The GM keeps telling fans and all that will listen that this is for the best, but eventually there will come a time that the rebuild must stop.  You don’t trade many of your best players that used to be part of the core and expect to turn it around instantly.  That being said, the team is probably worse than even they would have thought.  We take a look at the players and picks that have been moved in, including Martin Jones (pictured), as well as have been moved out.  We also take a look at what is expected to be the lineup for the foreseeable future.
