Your best players are pierce and kg, two guys far past their primes. You have a team that loses its identity when KG sits. Collins and wilcox are his backups. Also, bass is your starting PF. Championship team? Not even sure they could win it all in my dreams.
no team should play to loose. sentimental thoughts for kg and pp aside, this team providing we make the playoffs
does have a chance to win it all, just like every team that makes the playoffs. we match up well with every team in the east, we have great experience and strengths that that in the playoffs type series, outweigh the flaws.
is it likely? probably not, but you gotta be in it to win it.
i definitely recommend you read current forum topiic. 'the rebuilding myth

basically, for every team that has a successful rebuild and becomes contenders in a short amount of time (very very few) there are 10-15 teams whos rebuilding effort gets them stuck in a hold of mediocrity. We are in a good position, good assets, future cap room. and more importantly, we have a team that
right now has a chance to make a run in the playoffs.
