How many players away are we from competing with the Spains and Chinas OR what is our missing piece? Our guards are quickly becoming world-class. Would a super bigman like a Tapia or Silvia be enough? Do we need a super SF like the German?
I think Renteria is in that "super bigman" category with Tapia and Silvia. I don't see that being our biggest problem. PF isn't quite as rosy as we haven't really found an heir to Grubbs--a guy with huge peripherals to exploit matchups problems, but with world class inside skills to hold up against some of the 400k monsters that are out there.
I don't think anyone would turn down a SF like Kienbink, he's incredible, and more importantly, incredibly versatile. We can run most of the same offenses, but we have to mix and match players at the SF, which potentially leaves us vulnerable on defense. We have a couple young guys that are promising as well rounded SF's (Velasco is probably about ready to replace Serrano in that role), but they're mostly still works in progress.
