A: Why root for losses? Is this team is in as dire straits as you believe, then the losses will just happen organically. And if they don't happen organically, then maybe it will mean that even this roster has found a way to win. What is more important is the continued development of the four players you mentioned. Because if they can come together to develop something youthfully special then it would be far easier to airlift in the needed final, as you mentioned, Wade-like piece, be it in free agency (Gordon Hayward?) or in the draft (Josh Jackson?). Even Tyler Johnson noted at Friday's practice how it was encouraging to have the opportunity to play against the Bulls alongside Whiteside, Winslow and Richardson. So maybe it could be as easy as adding a plus-one.
