Pipedream, i know, but lets get it
We could, but neither of those guys, at least those literal 2 together will get you to the promise land.
why not? i understand theyre not on the level of a KG & ray allen, but i would say our team is at a better starting point than boston was (harris > rondo, brook = perkins, but w/more upside). putting marion and wallace at the 3 & 4 (interchangeable) would cause matchup problems and give us an athletic duo up front along w/brook's size. and our bench would still be decent, some of our vets like simmons/hayes/dooling/najera/swift (whoever we would keep) would make up the starting point to a decent bench. lets face it, lebron is looking more and more likely to end up w/the knicks, forget about clearing cap space. what happens if we get shut out on a big time free agent in 2010? we'd be even further from the top then we are now if our young guys dont develop exponentially
