Next year's cap projection has dropped again down to 101M with the following year projected to be roughly the same.  Not much of a drop but makes us signing a MAX player even harder.  Teams that overpaid for, at best, mediocre players (Lakers, Blazers) are going to regret it even more.

No. Not the Lakers. These guys just can't catch a break.

The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

3 more years paying 36M to Deng and Mozgov.  Probably not enough cap space to sign a Max free agent this year.  None of their young players showing themselves as true difference makers yet.  A ~50% chance to lose their 2017 and 2019 picks.  Magic is really going to have to work some magic to make them relevant in the next few years.

well yeah. I was big on acquiring him or pretty much anyone else because frankly there are never any guarantees
