1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I'd take over 40.5, but it's close. 42, maybe.

We are likely right near that .500 mark bubble but we are going to get some help from Indy and Chicago both losing their star players in our conference. I think we're for sure the 3rd best team in our Division behind Cleveland and Milwaukee and ahead of Chicago and Indiana. I can see us winning anywhere from 38 to 44 games.

Those bottom six teams all look like 25 wins max. Atlanta, Orlando and New York are screaming UNDER to me.

Pistons? I think we go 18-7 against the bottom six East teams and 20-37 against everyone else. 38-44. Under.
