As has been pointed out, they're already getting up on the cap and they still got to max out Trae. If they lock in Collins at Max, that's a wrap. That's your team, for better or worse. If they make it a few rounds into the playoffs, you can talk yourself into the idea that it's a young team that has upside yet to reach with continuity. If they struggle down the stretch and get steam rolled in the first round and look a billion miles away from actually contending, they can't lock that in as a franchise foundation for the next 4 years.
They've got draft capital if they want to get off of Gallo and/or Bogdan. Didn't Orlando get a chunky TPE today?
