2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[fifteenth]

Is it possible that a reason that we don't have a clear picture right now is because Nico is actually negotiating? And that the "identify the 30 possibilities and then start working them" is actually accurate?
 
If we're still in the running for whoever our main targets are, but are not going to just roll over, and we have contingencies in place so that our negotiations aren't just bluffs, and those contingencies have to be negotiated too, then that might explain why leaks don't provide a clear picture quite yet. 
 
Also, it looks to me like our pre-free agency moves set us up for either (or both) of free agent signings and trades. We expanded our cap space. And we picked up all our small contracts before today so that they're ready for inclusion in deals. It looks like we got ourselves ready to pounce. I don't know if we organized our cap space and small contracts for specific deals that are close to being in place, or just so that we're ready to jump on opportunities that haven' materialized. But it looks like we did work to get ready for something. 
 
In the past we would eventually find out that our primary targets said "no" to us and so we had to grab a Delon Wright. I guess I'm trying to hold out hope for some actual roster upgrades, and our apparent money and contract organizing gives me a little of that.
