He isn't so much a star as he is a cornerstone player -- Dennis/Barnes/Bamba would still be one FA superstar away from being a serious contender, but it's a good core... You've got DSJ orchestrating the offense and dunking on fools, Harrison playing the Robin role, and Mo locking down the paint, getting put-backs/lobs, and cleaning the glass. That could work.

Just for discussions sake what player do you think would put us into contender status with that core? Let's omit a few names as they are unattainable/won't come here. Lebron, KD, Curry, Harden, Westbrook, CP3.

How would that Dennis/Barnes/Bamba core look with a healthy Kawhi Leonard and a few sharpshooters?
