Just missing one piece... to be a top 3-5 team in east.

Arron Afflalo would certainly help. Not sure how realistic that is.

He would certainly be a fit. How realistic that is depends when Orlando decides to nose dive, but they're looking to see what the market is for Double A. I'm sure they would want a future first rounder for him.

[Southern Piston]

I think we're a lower level playoff team, but I think becuase of late season jelling, and the roster we have we could be more dangerous in the first rd of the playoffs and upset someone. I think if we could swing Stuckey and Singler and ? and nab Afflalo, rsighn Monroe and then we're a force in the east next year.

[Laimbeer]

If that one piece is LeBron, yeah.

[Dre Drummond]

Aaron Afflalo has become a very good NBA player and right now is the #1 option for the Magic who are a playoff team as of today. He's shooting an efficient % and he's playing great D.

I think the Stuckey/Afflalo debate should be done now... For years people thought AA was only doing good as a 3rd or 4th option on Denver but in reality he's holding his own as the #1 option on a team with a better record than the Pistons right now.

Dumping AA for a 2nd rounder to sign that d-bag Chris Wilcox is an all-time top 3 blunder for Joe D.

We are more than 1 piece away- we have too many subpar players on roster.

Have you seen the east? How many pieces you think this team needs to be a 5th seed man?

Point well taken... there really is a lot of warts in the East.
So far the season has played out the way most thought... What's needed now is a little more KCP (less CB) and a commitment to finding the open man (less one on one)... we're far from the finished product.

OP is right. all we need is one piece, like Lebron, then we are a top team in the east. easy

Its amazing the number of people that misread this thread title.

I put 3-5 because I feel like even with the addition of a solid starter we're behind Miami and Indiana... Realistically we're an Aaron Afflalo player away from being in the group behind those teams... But we need that one more guy and hopefully our expirings and a young player can be packaged together to get that SG we need.

[Shooter1]

Yep one piece.... M Jordan in his prime and we would be a top 5 in the east.
