Yea, we have a good balance of players, a lot of times the average age will fool you, what 4 guys over 35 and 10 under 24. The thing is looking at the under 25, they are guys that will have an impact for years.......Krstic, Marcus to start, hopefully Sean and Boone will also, still hoping on Wright. Thinking Boki is gone, but he's another guy who will be around for a few more years.</p>

I still wouldn't trade Marcus in a trade for JO. He's the future at PG, while Armstrong's got around a year left</p>
