There's still questions about GSW's chances at competing, even assuming that Ellis and Baron will stay.
1. Can they still run at break neck pace? The Suns could do it for 3 and a half years, but unlike D'Antoni Nellie does not balance out the minutes for the guys in rotation, so you see guys constantly logging 40+ minutes. It would make a nice looking stat sheet what with 4 guys scoring 20, but any players would be going nuts/bust a kneecap doing this 82 times a year.
2. Will Baron stay healthy?
3. They still have no rebounder aside from Biedrins. Will Nellie give Wright any playing time, or is he just going to bury him like he did with Diogu and O'Bryant? Even if they solve the rebounding issue, how are they going to address their weakness at guarding PFs?
4. Speaking of Biedrins, I don't get the hype about this guy. Sure he's tall and runs well which makes him a good fit for the dubs, but what does he do aside from a couple of blocks and scoring off uncontested rolls? Defensively the team seem worse when he's on the floor, at least when he's not on the court GSW can play scrappier defense when they go small.
5. They still don't have much of a half court game. Even when the Suns were a running team Marion can finish off any passes Nash throws at him and Amare is an unstoppable dunker in a half court set. Getting Webber failed, so what next?
