Big hole is still at Center. I still think Blake Griffin is a realistic option. Demarcus Cousins still seems like a problem behind the scenes - but he's a bulky center that can stretch the floor a bit. His attitude might be the type of fire we need. Any other option has to be a trade. Not sure who's out there.
Not sure what the other missing piece is. I'm really hoping Edwards makes a big leap but a big wing like that is always good to have. I wouldn't be mad at Melo or Markieff Morris as long as they're OK with small roles.
Overall, I think the team is super talented but I'm not sure how it all fits together at a championship level without a true stretch 5. I do think Simmons/KD/Claxton on the floor together is going to be a nightmare to score against. Regardless of who else plays with them. The length, speed, and instincts there are elite.

Rosters looks great except for Center. I really don't think we need to add someone else.
We definitely need another backup big man. And I'm not sure why this wasn't addressed.
At this point Hassan Whiteside might be the best option. I'd take him for minutes if Sharpe does not look ready.

They take control of the franchise back and Durant looks like a fool.
Hopefully him, Simmons, Kyrie can take basketball serious this year and realize how much talent they have.
Only time will tell.

Eh, forget Center, we need another wing that can shoot efficiently, Melo fits that bill and if we can somehow get Cousins, he adds another mid range player that can help alleviate any loss with Aldridge/Griffin. Sure, Melo cannot defend but gives you size at 6'7.

Windrem pointed this out just now but I think Clara Tsai had a big hand in smoothing things over. She was seen at the Liberty game awhile back talking with both Kleiman and Harrington.
Either way, I like the statement the team put out. The focus is on basketball. If KD, Simmons, and Kyrie give 100% this team on paper is not to be taken lightly

Yeah I don't agree. Shooting wings don't grow on trees and there are certainly none left.
Melo is washed. Black hole on defense.
You want better wing than develop Kessler and Duke into contributing players. Kess in particular can be a 3 and D wing this year if he keeps improving.
Cousins is done. Give me Whiteside for some minutes off the bench. We could do worse.
