I'm not sure building a competitive team is even possible. There are a lot of teams looking to go bankrupt trying to compete for all the talent out there-- perhaps as many teams trying to be good as ever before-- and a LOT of teams who will be better than us no matter what (SAS, GSW, OKC, LAC, CLE, etc.) Unless you get a superstar, you just don't have the core to compete.
Dirk was that core but isn't anymore and another star like him doesn't come around often. Parsons/Matthews are great complementary players, but aren't going to carry you.
