KG (star), Ricky Davis (slightly above average starter) and a bunch of so-so players and we weren't that good. What we're talking about right now is a poor man's version of those teams.
I just think that this team is going to look a lot different if/when we become relevant again.

I agree that there is still talent to be added. I do think Foye and McCants hover around starter quality, though. The problem is, I think they're both better suited to a sixth man role, Foye because I think he's a matchup problem (not to our advantage) against good PG and good SGs (but likely more than fine against second teamers), and McCants mostly just because I don't trust him--I'd rather ride him when he's hot and ignore him otherwise. But I do think he could average 14-15 ppg eventually in that role.
Anyway, you can't have two sixth men. I don't think. I'm no mathematician.
I'm hopeful that Theo's contract becomes a good player (via trade, as I don't trust our ability to lure free agents), and that our pick ends up a good one. That's theoretically two more pieces.
