You mean until Orlando remembered they can’t shoot…

I'm hoping for Hartenstein, a sign and trade for Fontecchio (if possible, if not then sign Monk), and then trade WCJ and picks for a guard like Murray or Mitchell.

Looks like a battle of two teams that are too good to draft any more pieces. But I don’t see the growth potential for either. They look like eternal 1st or 2rd exists.

I think I'd go really hard at KCP and see if Denver has the stomach to match(and that assumes KCP gives them the opportunity). You get the shooting but keep the defensive identity.

No potential in 21 and 22 year olds is kinda wild.

Our 3 best players are 22 or younger, we have all of our picks and an abundance of cap space. Would love to hear what you're basing this off.

Nightmare half for the Magic. They had it in the bag when Cleveland looked dead in the water in the first half. Oh well, great showing in the first playoffs for them.

Boston Cavs should be fun, is Allen coming back this postseason?

I’m sorry but Wagner either has no vert or is meant to just be a screener

What's the worst shooting game in a game 7? That's gotta be up there for Wagner

I don't know if iHart (a non-shooting DHO center) works amazingly with Paolo/Isaac/Wagner. I can see someone liking iHart>WCJ, but in terms of fit, I think a healthy Wendell is wayyyyy better.

Murray and Mitchell are pipe dreams until they're available.
