WEll, then we obviously need to trade Hayward, Kanter or Favors for him according to some posters on this board who give credence to +/- stats.

No, but we need a shooter to space the floor. I think that was the idea behind playing Marvin Williams at the PF. Problem is that he can't really defend PFs.
 
This team has just been gutted by the front office.

No floor spacers. No PG depth. No bench.

The young guys are completely on their own.
 
Denver's bench scored 42 pts.

Utah's bench scored 16 pts.

That's a 26 pt. difference.

Utah's starters outscored Denver's starters by 7 pts.

Even if Burks shot better and went like 6/9 with an extra 3-ball. That only adds 9 pts, and our bench still gets outscored by 17 pts.

The weird thing about Marv not being able to defend PF's is that he is a big dude, and pretty light on his feet. One would think that would translate. That is the mystery that is Marv though.

This is my main takeaway. There is nobody who can consistently help. If all 4 are on at once, we have a good chance to win but if even one of them falters a bit there is nobody to pick up the slack.

We don't have a single really complementary player and none of our best 4 are good enough to even semi-regularly take over a game. Still, I think we could actually be a decent team next year if we add Wiggins or Parker and a couple of role players.
 
The last 5 minutes or so of the 3rd quarter Favors had a look in his eyes. He was calling for the ball, playing like a beast on both ends, great body language - you can see the confidence being injected back into him. And for his efforts, he's benched the first 4 minutes of the 4th quarter. For ****'s sake Corbin forget about your rotations for a second and ride the hot hand you robot - what do you have to lose?

With the 4 and Marv plus Burke, we might be competitive soon, but still be a pretty terrible team. Gobert is so raw, that he doesn't really help the team at all right now, aside from being a blast to watch. All the other guys just plain suck.

We could be good next year, but we will probably take at least until 2016 to be contenders.

Well, Faried is a tough cover. He's a Manimal after all.
