Still they look like a sub-25 win team this year. All that being said, they weren't going to contend this year anyway. The massive amount of cap space Rod Thorn has generated is quietly one of the best GM jobs of the summer. Brook Lopez, Devin Harris, Max Player A, Excellent Player B, and maybe Courtney Lee at shooting guard looks like a really good team in 2010.
