It will be interesting to watch their actions, especially if their playoffs don't go stellar. Towns and his monstrous deal might get on the block.It will be interesting to see which teams are forced to make moves to cut salaries. Many are predicting more trades this summer and that’s part of it.
How deep into the tax will these all in teams go?
Wolves
Suns
Clippers
Nuggets
Warriors are openly trying to duck the tax entirely
Pelicans have never paid the tax before
Thunder, Grizzlies, Pelicans all have tremendous draft capital if they wanted to make a big move
I think people will forget that the Grizzlies will be right there in the mix next year. The only clear tanking teams in the west are Blazers and Spurs. Rockets and Jazz looking to compete, but not big buyers.
Lakers another big wildcard. Will they use the 3 picks? Or will Lebron leave and they blow it up and trade AD as well?
Going to be fun to see how it all shakes out. Mavs suddenly in a better position than most of the conference
