Well he has said a lot on subject already. He is bringing back Delfino. probably

Who they grab at the nine likely fills the backup spot for SG. SF backup looks to be Printezis as they have been blabbing about that for months. But today on Doug Smith's blog(his info is usually hmmm) he said they have no intention of bringing him over so who knows.
But I think you can clearly see the way BC is going about it. He says they will be busy with moves this offseason. They either get rid of Hump or light a fire under his butt with Evans in the fold. Humpy won't be able to forget why he is put on the floor. Delfino adds a guy who isn't afraid to mix it up either though his Chuckafino personality is scary.
Really the only starting question is Marion? The rest are supporting cast moves if as rumored the Delfino thing is already in the bag. If he ain't staying I'm thinking draft night will see him go in an S & T.
POB being kept around as well. Evans and Hump fighting for minutes leaving Pops as the odd man out.
Right now though the starting lineup in pencil is :
Calderon, Delfino, Marion, Bargs and Bosh.
With a backup of :
?, Tyreke Evans, Printezis, Evans, Hump
So if Marion resigns and Delfino is a sure thing as rumored then it's just that second five that needs work and the draft will fix one spot.
