We fixed that with Pietrus and Lee. Now we have PG depth problems and adding another solid role player at the PF spot. I'm sure the PF will be address next year since PF and C spots are all full (Howard, Battie, Gortat, Lewis, Cook, Augustine). I'm hoping we can trade for Lowry or Crittenton, while also signing Williams to the VE. That would sure up our PG depth.
That's been my observation as well. We had a big need in perimeter scoring and SF - with the departure of Hill and the Turkoflu issues - last year, he filled it with Ra$hard. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on viewpoint - Tony got hurt and we played both guys simultaneously.
It was obvious that our SG rotation needed help, so he went out and took care of that, both FA and draft.
Next year I guess it will be PG/PF spots. Unless Hedo is traded this year in a S (2 years) & T deal?
It's not like we were a single piece away from contending. Most of us expected yearly improvements.
That's what Otis has been doing for the last 2 seasons. Our expectations as such keep rising as well.
