The team has no choice but to make some moves this summer. They have kind of painted themselves into a corner and I'm just hoping they don't make a desperation move now (Bynum or Iggy). I like the idea of smaller moves, but those guys usually end up being bench or rotational guys and this team needs a bit more than that. I'm hoping they hit it big though..

I don't think the team is desperate for a move, but Benson may be and that is a concern. I've said several times if the big fish you want isn't there, there will be multiple teams like Dallas and Golden state who will be desperate to dump expiring contracts to free up money for Free Agency.

Let's not forget that this team was able to win 27 games with Gordon out for half the year and pretty much had to rely on rookies like Rivers and Roberts heavily early on. Williams has gone on record and said that we could have won a couple more games had he forced the issue with AD.

Considering the circumstances, we are well ahead of the curve. With the Development of Davis and Rivers, a good draft, and a Ryan Anderson-like acquisition could really push the team into the next phase which will be battling for a playoff spot.
