Yeah, Dillingham with Edwards is awesome. Not to mention, learning under Conley.

1. Butler to HOU

3. OKC’s more aggressive posture. ORL facing winning opportunities and critical extension decisions. CLE deciding on their core
4. PHI & Morey striking out on big FA’s. PHX imploding. DET blowing FA -again
5. Trading picks for Anfernee Simons (but my hope is Dejounte)

The biggest storyline this offseason is the 2nd Apron and hard caps. I’m expecting some cap related trades to start happening. Phoenix, Milwaukee got issues. Chicago and Portland should blow things up. The draft is fun, but the real work is trades/free agency. July 1 coming soon!

This. I think we are all just starting to get an understating of how this new CBA works. And I think it's going to dramatically change the way teams do business. Teams are going to look at short windows, 2-3 years, where they can lock in as a 2nd apron team.

Teams like the Celtics, Knicks, Suns and Wolves are all in with old CBA style rosters and should be good teams for the next 3-5 years. Pheonix probably has the shortest window with MINN having the highest upside because of Ant.
