John wall is going to be a beast. I can't believe that he had 31pts. and mcgee is looking like a god damn stud
McGee/Blatche with backup minutes from Yi/Armstrong/Booker could be a solid frontcourt with Armstrong the only one over 24. If McGee has enough endurance to play 30 a night with 12/8 and 2 blocks then the frontcourt could have two 7 footers who can do a little of everything with Yi playing the 3 and backing up down low. I like that setup with an athlete like Wall at PG quite a bit.
Wall is only missing the outside shot right now. He's scary fast with the ball and you can already see improvement each game just from summer league ball. I'm sure he'll struggle at times but he's going to have backcourt partners that can score and an athletic frontcourt.
I wouldn't mind too much if they offered Josh Howard, Matt Barnes, or Quentin Richardson type a one year deal to play SF but I think they'll just go with someone like Cartier Martin.
For now it looks something like this:
PG - Wall
SG - Arenas
SF - Yi
PF - Blatche
C - McGee
G - Hinrich
G - Young
G/F - Martin
SF - Thornton
PF - Booker
C - Armstrong
Looks like Seraphin gets left in Europe for a year and Ndiaye gets a deal and put in the NBDL. At this point I would expect a low level veteran or two to fill out the final spots. There's still 10m or so in cap room so it's not a problem.
This team should be exciting, competitive, and just good enough to pay attention to without making the playoffs. That open cap space may work very well for adding the right pieces next year to build a core of 8 or 9 to make a real run with.
