Imo If we draft a big like Stein or Kaminsky then we need:
-A starting PG/SG
- A Starting SF/PF
-A backup SF
-A back up PF
-A back up C/third string C

If we draft a guard(Winslow, Mudiay, or fingers crossed Russell then we need:
-A starting SF/PF
-A starting C
-a back up SF
-A backup PF
-A backup/third string C

So we really need to make five signings that include two starting players and 3 good rotation players for our front court.

The Future is Bright!

Until the draft is over we won't know the FA Priority.

If they draft WCS or Okafor I doubt they go for Monroe or D. Jordan
If they draft Mudiay or Winslow the FA roster moves will then be a lot more open.
Also the possibilities that open up if Melo is playing PF insteasd of SF next year lead to a lot of unknown moves as well.

The one thing I could definitely see Phil trying to do is getting a second legit scorer next to Melo and putting defense on the roster overall. How that happens we'll have to wait to see.

The algorithm gives and the algorithm takes away

Contend for a playoff spot? That means basically have a team a little over .400 and roughly a top 20 NBA team (out of 30). We probably just need a healthy Melo and a couple of solid players added at any positions.
