And Nash out there still insisting everything is fine and no roster changes incoming.

This is why we don't crown paper champions.

You could see Pangos getting waived/bought out if the Cavs didn't make another move before the deadline, but looks like he already has his next job lined up:

Indy’s only about $550k under the tax (Spotrac is incorrect as it counts Lance’s salary twice), and Buddy still has bonuses he could hit. I definitely see Indy making another mov, but likely if a fiscal variety. Like a Tristan Thompson to a TPE or OKC kind of thing. Or even for a smaller contract to buy out.
