So they will run out Treague, Ellis, George, Jefferson and turner. Second best team in the east?
+ Thad Young.
They are doing an awesome job of adding little incremental upgrades to that team. If Paul George makes a real leap into superstardom, that team can be a real contender.
Honestly, though, this seems like Toronto Raptors 2.0. Yeah, they're making upgrades that will make them win more games in the conference, but nobody really sees them as anything close to a title contender.
George is a better high end piece than Lowry or DeRozan so that gives them a bit more upward mobility.
A lot depends on the continued development of Turner defensively and as a floor spacer offensively.
But they've got a legit elite talent and one of the most skilled offensive supporting casts in the league - Teague, Ellis, Miles, Thad and Big Al - that's a lot of supplementary scoring.
Now they just need to turn Stuckey into a 3 +D wing or combo forward.
