On the wing, there were Jae Crowder and Chandler Parsons.
After losing Chris Bosh and DeAndre Jordan, the interior line had returned to its 2007-08 season status, becoming their weakest link.
However, it's normal for a team to have flaws; a perfect roster is actually quite rare.
At present, the SuperSonics' priority was to finalize the starting lineup for the new season as soon as possible.
To be precise, they needed to find the fifth starter.
The first four were already settled: Yu Fei, Roy, Irving, and Stoudemire.
Coach Lu decided to move Yu Fei back to the small forward position and let Roy and Irving share ball-handling duties. As for the fifth starter, he hoped to choose a power forward.
Therefore, the final choice would be between Parsons and Carl Landry.
The SuperSonics were famously generous to "mercenaries," and Landry soon experienced the same "happiness" that Bosh had.
