&lt;p&gt;Everyone can agree that bringing KG and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/4344/Ray_Allen&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Ray Allen&lt;/a&gt; to Boston was a genius move.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Of course, we knew the only thing standing between us and Banner 17 was building bench support while over the cap.&amp;nbsp; He starting off like a champion, signing House, Posey, and getting Davis.&amp;nbsp; Then PJ Brown and Sam Cassel.&amp;nbsp; 17 was a sure thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

   Posey was the ideal 6th man.&amp;nbsp; Why couldn't we give him a longer contract?
&lt;p&gt;Why didn't we use the MLE in an attempt to replace him?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why didn't we use the LLE to try to sign a guy more valuable than Moore?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why did we keep &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/4343/Gabe_Pruitt&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Gabe Pruitt&lt;/a&gt; and then not play him?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fast forward.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why couldn't we give Marbury a bigger contract?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why couldn't we sign Powe to AT LEAST the minimum in hopes of a recovery?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are we going to keep Pruitt, Walker, and Giddens on our bench rather than trade them for someone a little more valuable?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are we going to keep TA and Scal (who both play limited minutes) and then have their combined 6 million dollar contracts expire?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are we gonna let Ray's contract expire, and get nothing in return for him either?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What's gonna happen if Big Baby doesn't come through?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What's gonna happen if Rasheed doesn't come through and we have to settle for a lesser guy?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry Danny, but i don't think i can place my full trust in you any longer.&amp;nbsp; We really need to start thinking into the future.&lt;/p&gt;
  


 	&lt;fieldset class=&quot;poll-box&quot;&gt;
  &lt;legend&gt;Poll&lt;/legend&gt; 
  &lt;h5 class=&quot;poll-title&quot;&gt;Do you think Danny is doing everything in his power to ensure we have to best possible chance at winning (past and present)?&lt;/h5&gt;
  
    
&lt;div id=&quot;poll_container_45016_456719901&quot; class=&quot;poll_container&quot;&gt;
  
    &lt;div class=&quot;poll_option clearfix&quot;&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;poll_option_percentage&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;66%&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;poll_option_result&quot;&gt;
      &lt;h5&gt;Yes&lt;/h5&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;poll_option_bar&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;vote_count&quot;&gt;83&lt;/span&gt; votes&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  
    &lt;div class=&quot;poll_option clearfix&quot;&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;poll_option_percentage&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;33%&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;poll_option_result&quot;&gt;
      &lt;h5&gt;No, he could've done more&lt;/h5&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;poll_option_bar&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;vote_count&quot;&gt;42&lt;/span&gt; votes&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  
  &lt;p class=&quot;poll-total-votes&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;125&lt;/strong&gt; votes
      
    | &lt;span class=&quot;poll-has-closed&quot;&gt;Poll has closed&lt;/span&gt;
  
  &lt;/p&gt;  
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;script&gt;

  FastInit.addOnLoad(function(){
    new SBN.Poll('poll_container_45016_456719901').animateResults({renderImmediately:true});
  });

&lt;/script&gt;

  
&lt;/fieldset&gt;
