The lights come up.
Wig looks at the reporters.
I think what we just watched says it all. I was sick of just eking into the playoffs. Every season not winning a title is a wasted year for me, and we've wasted almost a decade. It was time to make significant moves. We added Grant Hill. We kept Big Ben. We still have all-star PF Antonio McDyess. We retained Sprewell. Jon Barry elected to join us, making sure there were Zero Wings available to the rest of the league. To top it off, we did what most thought was impossible and nabbed Penny Hardaway.
We're going to pay a huge luxury tax as we make a chase for the ring. This team had darn well better compete not just for a title but for history... or DEATH. No excuses.
