In 3-4 years, someone like Morrison/Spoon/Andersson/Kylington will hopefully be ready to take the #3 spot. Or someone else entirely. We won't know until we get there.

The problem with our team is that in a few years, some really good players may have to be moved in order to keep the core intact, just like the Hawks did. Certain players will have to be moved in order to keep the better ones. Players like Russell and Wideman will likely be the first to go in order keep someone like Hudler or will go towards the younger players.
