I expect them both to sign max extensions this off-season with langue in them that bumps them from 25% to 30% if they meet the qualifications. That is typical. Chet might just sign a straight 25% since he is unlikely to hit the 30% qualifier, but I fully expect the 30% bump language in JDub's contract since he made an all-NBA team this year. Chet is significantly less likely to make an all-NBA team next year, but if he plays 70 games he could win defensive player of the year.

Denver uses that cap savings for Hardaway Jr and Bruce Brown. I do not buy that they are better than last year.

Never mind, I missed the Valanciunas signing, that does make them better.

Denver and Houston have buffed themselves up although I do think Houston got worse defensively so will be interesting to see how that team performs.

Denver is better for sure. Houston probably need some help in their backcourt.

Don't know if you've seen the reports that have popped up since this post, but apparently Valanciunas is trying to get out of his NBA contract so that he can play overseas.

I assume this would void the deal with the Kings and Saric's rights would return to Denver.

Will Dieng be traded ? I could see us making a deadline deal tbh, but I could also see us just ride out the season with our roster and let him walk.
Cheers

No. Just be grateful that Presti hasn't extended him. I am 99% confident that OKC's roster is done. Jones out. Sorber in. Extensions done. Presti is on vacation until it's time to start draft prep for next year's draft.

We are just waiting to see who the 3rd two way will be . Roster is set for opening night.
