Alright, final verdict before I do something stupid.
My team is in my sig. It is finished, capped out, and I have no picks left. Is it a contender?
Hmm ... not sure. The bench is kind of lightweight. Not so high on T.Thompson as starting PF.
That said, I do think Tony Parker, Joe Johnson and Pau Gasol is a core strong enough to field a title contender. As a result, I would be very reluctant to break them up.
Maybe next year with a fully healthy Pau Gasol and with a few of those young bigs (T.Thompson, B.Biyombo, E.Clark) are a year older. That could become a title contender with a bit of luck development wise.
