Agreed, it'll be a lot of fun to watch this team and see how they come together (or not). My early prediction is that they'll definitely be back in the playoffs, but struggle to get up to the 4/5 seed that would give them a real shot of advancing past the first round.
I really like the number of guys who can play multiple positions (Bargnani, Turkoglu, Bellinelli, even Bosh). Once this team develops some chemistry, it creates a good dynamic of interchangeable parts, so you can drop in bench players for situational defense and still get the offensive matchups you want.
