But their shooting depth is lacking a lot.

I don't get what the Sixers did.

Unless they offered the max to Butler and he turned it down, but it doesn't look like they did.

They botched it to me.

They’re trading Richardson and have to shed more salary for this sign and trade to work. We’ll see who else they lose.

I'm guessing Dragic too

Looks like Philly will be worse this year. But so Milwaukee and probably Toronto.

And Boston. You could argue Horford was their most important player.

Agreed. Horford is a big loss for the Celtics. Walker will fit better than Irving, but Al’s loss will be felt.

Barring big leaps from Tatum and/or Brown, the Celtics will drop off quite a bit... even if Hayward comes back better next season

I'd be happy to swing a deal with the Heat to acquire Dragic on a 1 year deal.

Dragic for Felicio + Valentine + second round pick

Probably not going to get it done, but that could make it a solid free agency if we end up with Young and Dragic

Dragic/White/Archi
LaVine/Blackney/Dragic
Porter/Hutchinson/Young
Lauri/Young
WCJ/Gafford

Probably still miss the playoffs, but depending how how they gel and how quickly they find chemistry, we could get close.

Yes Boston will definitely be worse unless Tatum and Brown make jumps I'm not expecting.

Dragic to Dallas as part of the deal.

Biggest losers so far, is definitely the Knicks, Celtics and Rockets.

Toronto might get better if Kawhi returns.

Confidence of being champs and Siakam could improve more.

The East is theirs to lose if Kawhi is back.

They have a pretty darned good chance to repeat if he’s back.

I’m sure Jimmer Fridette is chomping at the bit.

I'm saying Toronto will be worse if Kawahi is gone. Which seems to be strong likelihood. I hope stays though. Jus don't go to the Lakers regardless.

Fair enough.

Lakers are his only option at this point, so if he goes there, the NBA is in a bad spot.

Why are the Clippers out?

I don't think Kawhi would go there alone.

Seems pointless.
