Yeah, while I don't think this could be argued to be the peak of their window by any stretch, I think it is fair to say that the window has opened and that there is no reason to think that it couldn't all come together for them, at any point from now going forward.
I don't think it's any kind of a disaster if it doesn't all come together this year, but I think we are at the point where we should be thinking that the right trade, the right signing, the right kid stepping up, and this team should be capable of elevating to full contender status.
I think we are at the 'we need one more piece, one thing to happen, and everything can fall into place' stage. For some teams this can take a while, like it did with Nashville and St Louis.
LA was an example of a team that had lots of good pieces and then it suddenly all fell into place right at the right time.
