This is exactly my point. Building or rebuilding a team is a VERY tricky proposition. The Thunder have already had at least three Hall Of Famers and only made the Finals once. There’s a possibility that they will never get back to that level again. Will the super loyal fans find that acceptable? Back to my Dolphins. Their fan base was considered one of the best in the NFL in the 70s and 80s. Now they can’t fill half a stadium ever.
