Their biggest weakness this past season was a lack of a bench.
Being able to add some combination of Paul Pierce, Josh Smith, and Lance Stephenson to their bench is a very strong offseason for GM Doc.
I still think that they'd be well served in finding a strong backup PG option for them to cover not only when CP3 goes to the bench, but the inevitable 5-10 games during the year that he will miss (or should miss due to scheduling). Austin Rivers is far more a shooter/scorer than he is a distributor.

It doesn't really matter though. No matter who they get, they are getting bounced in the 2nd round.
Spurs and Warriors will be good ... Clippers a bit below them ... OKC a massive wild card. Memphis and Houston also various stages of solid. Could see some step up seasons this year from New Orleans and Utah. West will once again be no joke.
Wouldn't shock me if the 4 or 5 best teams in the league sit out in the West.
