The only need is star power, as inside scoring is not really an issue anymore.
Unless its an offer of Nowitizki, Wade, McGrady, or something along those lines, the no.1 pick will be a Bull come June 27th.
Another thing is salary issues. Those players mentioned above are making an upwards of $15 annually. That means Paxon will have to match salaries up to 10 % (around $1.5 million) in proximity. Contracts with Hughes and Gooden allow the possibility, but that would place their respective teams in rebuild mode with an unusally high team salary, of which attendance could suffer and result in a net loss for the team. LA, New York, and Chicago are shielded from such possibilities but 2nd market teams dont have quite the "audience" so to say.
