Like New Orleans would traditionally be a team that would be in seller mode, but since they had to put the Zion show on hold for 4 months and now that they just got him back they want to see what they've got with a good supporting cast. San Antonio is a team that fits the profile of a traditional seller a mediocre or sub-mediocre non contender with some old huge salaries, but they won't strip it down until Pop retires. Phoenix would traditionally be in seller mode, but an 8th seed is attainable and they haven't been to the playoffs in a billion years. Another huge catalyst of selling behavior is teams looking at luxury tax issues, but there's few franchises that fall into that category and teams like OKC did a lot of the heavy lifting on that in the last offseason.I guess if you're talking about there aren't many teams willing to sell for cheap, you have a good point. Det is ready to blow it up, they just want too much. Cle would be sellers if the price is right, the league would be buyers if their asking price was right. Sounds like Chi is pretty ready to move on from lots of players, but the buyers want to give up less than they are wanting to take. there is a lot of potential movement, but the valuations are far away from eachother.
