"I don't even know why they (the fans) should question that because we've done that in the past," said a frustrated Maloof. "We've paid the luxury tax in the past when we had a team competing for the championship. That shouldn't even be a question so I'm not gonna answer it. If there's a good free agent available, we'll go out and get the free agent. It's what we've done. Know the future and know the past, and know this: that we're gonna turn this franchise around. Everybody that's counting us out, well, count us out, you can go ahead and count us out, but don't count out the Maloofs, 'cause we're gonna turn this franchise around. Don't bank on us being down forever."
