Kaman/Brand/Wright/James/Dirk (in short spells) seems perfectly adequate to me. Two competent, starting-caliber players, a quality backup and a developing rookie. It light years better than we had last year with Haywood/Mahinmi/Wright.

Kaman/Brand/Wright/James/Dirk
Dirk/Marion/Brand
Carter/Marion/Da Jones/Crowder
Mayo/Da Jones/Do Jones
Collison/Roddy/Cunningham
It's a question of how the team views James. If they think he's capable of contributing, then I think you're correct. But if they think he's too raw to really play meaningful minutes this year (which is likely), then you absolutely have a need for an additional true center, as Brand and Wright are both PF's that will be outsized in some matchups.
