I think the past few games against SA have shown that this team is pretty good, is a solid nucleus, and has a good chemistry togetehr. It probably isn't consistent enough yet, but it is clear that a major overhaul is not needed (that has been done to death the past few years). What we need is some tinkering...
1) Re-sign Bonzi- this becomes a priority. I know K-Mart is capable, but a person taking over a game like Bonzi cannot be allowed to walk. Bonzi has proven himself. Plus- a three man system at the wings (Ron, Bonzi, Martin) would be awesome. Let Ron and Bonzi start and play about 36 minutes, and bring Martin off the bench for both for about 24. Plus, KMart can pick up more minutes if we slide Ron/Bonzi to 4.
2) Find a backup point guard. A guy who can score, defend, and have an impact on the game. This is where I think K9 has value. Everyone wants to trade him for a big man- that isn't going to happen, he doesn't have that much value. However- you could trade him to an East team who needs an East PF, and get a servicable backup point. How about trading him for an Antonio Daniels, Chris Duhon, Carlos Arroyo type guard? I know it would take some doing to make it work for the cap, but that is possible.
3) MLE a third big man- a defensive-minded player to play 24-28 minutes. I really don't know who this is, but it won't be Chandler or Dalembert. Maybe someone like a Tony Battie. Brad starts at center, Reef can either start or come off the bench for the MLE guy, and you have yourself Rick's preferred 3 man rotation in the post.
Roster
PG- Bibby, (Daniels/Duhon/Arroyo), Hart/Price
SG- Bonzi, Martin
SF- Ron, Garcia, Corliss/Monia
PF- Reef, MLE (maybe battie is he is a free agent)
C- Miller, Potapenko, Sampson
Really it would only play 8 deep. Garcia would likely be outside looking in. Potapenko would likely only play when foul trouble or injury warranted. Bibby, Bonzi, Ron, Miller would log about 36 minutes. Reef would play 28-32. Martin and the MLE guy would play about 24, and the backup point gets 12...
Seems like a pretty good damn team to me...
