2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[Jason Terry]

The Ringer guys seem to think most of the big names are at their final destination and we’re entering a period where there won’t be near as much player movement. Beal being an exception. This summer seems important because for as light as this summer’s FA crop has become the summer 2022 crop is even lighter. 

If you look at most of the contenders they’ve mostly gone all in and can’t afford to blow up their team even if it’s not enough(LA teams, UTA, BYK, PHI, MKE, DEN, POR, GSW). All those teams traded away their picks and seem all in for multiple future years. BOS, MIA, PHX and DAL seem to have more assets but are good teams looking to buy. Up and coming young teams looking to buy like ATL, CHA, NYK, CHI, SAS, MEM, MIN. OKC will probably be buyers soon. HOU and DET are devoid of talent. ORL just had a fire sale. WAS has nothing outside of Beal. 

Teams that could/should blow it up at some point in the next 2 years seem like: Indy, Toronto, Cleveland, New Orleans and Sacramento. Indy and Toronto make the most sense. Lots of pressure and young guys on those other teams so maybe they just sell off smaller pieces. So Brogdon, Turner, OG, Siakim, Heild, Sexton seem like the best players that could be moved
