Hard to say that the fanbase is toxic when its basically a miracle there is any significant fanbase left. When the franchise has been the most incompetent franchise for the past 15+ years by a far margin, there will obviously be a reaction from the fans. Fans getting frustrated for the highest paid player is quite understandable when the ownership and management year after year declares that we are shooting for playoffs and there is zero improvement ever.
Always the same story: team is not good enough to compete, refuse to make long term plans for the future and instead trying short term win now moves for the present. Year after year the plan fails, the plan puts us out of the premium picks in the draft and then its rinse and repeat. The fanbase isnt stupid. They understand that the same plan has been unsuccesfull for 15 years in a row. Give them a plan that focuses on few years ahead and make moves that support that plan. Or we can continue as usual, change nothing and keep being the absolute worst franchise in the future too. Dropping 7th pre lottery is a great example on incompetency when it was clear for a long time that we arent a competitive team yet. If it happened by playing Queta and gleaguers then so be it. In this case it happened by for some mysterious reason playing Barnes for 38mins
