It's all about health to me.
If this team stays healthy I think we are a legit top 5 team. The west is so deep with talent that the top 7 or 8 teams should be knocking each other off regularly to maintain parity (of the top 8) and keep record percentages at low enough levels to catch when Kyrie returns.
The key is to remain in the top 8 until Kyrie returns and then make a push for the a top 4 spot.
That is what I look forward to.
If we are in the bottom 7 by the time Kyrie returns, it wont make much of a difference because it will indicate there was disappoint ment from the rest of the squad in one way or another (health, talent, chemistry, etc...).
At that point I will be looking forward to the development of our youth (especially Christie and Nembhard) and subsequently a high draft pick.
