Even with Al Jefferson (who they still have to hope is fully recovered and returns to form), their bench is super thin and they are still weak at SG and C. If Johnny turns out to be the uberguard they're looking for, then that's a nice two headed monster to head into the next decade with (Flynn/Jefferson). I like the decision to bring Kurt aboard as the coach. He's coming from a franchise that's a perennial winner and studied under the foot of the greatest (statistically) coach ever. But at the same time, they play in the West. There is just way too much talent out there, too many superior teams to compete with, and a few of those teams that didnt make the playoffs would easily be in the playoffs in the East. Expectations for Kurt should be 25-28 wins first season. Anything over that, he's overacheiving. Year 2 and Year 3 are the years that will define the Rambis Era.
