In this mock offseason, I analyze the Wolves' salary cap situation, contract projections for Julius Randle, Naz Reid, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and try to fit them all within the second apron. Then, I show the alternative of how they could trade for Kevin Durant and what's required within the salary cap rules to accomplish that.

The Clippers were pegged to be the worst team in the Pacific division by many after losing Paul George. They overachieved, made the playoffs, and almost advanced to the second round. But is this team capped with this result? They have few players with upside and few draft picks to trade. They'll need to upgrade their high-end talent and make some significant improvements if they're going t...

The pressure is on for the Memphis Grizzlies to improve the roster this summer. But before they can do that, they need to secure the future of one of their stars. Jaren Jackson Jr. didn't qualify for the supermax so they'll need to get creative in extending him. After that, they'll have an opportunity to be aggressive on the trade market to bring in another forward. In this video, I an...

The New Orleans Pelicans' 2024-25 season ended before it began. They didn't have a chance due to all their injuries, including a long-term one for Dejounte Murray. To top it all off, they fell three spots in the lottery. They'll be in a position to select one in the draft, but they seem far away from being competitive again. The new front office could look to be aggressive this summer...

The Philadelphia 76ers lucked out by keeping their pick and seeing it rise to the top 3. They now have the challenge of fielding a competitive team while keeping expenses controlled. They already have a high payroll before re-signing Quentin Grimes and Guerschon Yabusele. They'll need to save money, but it probably won't be from trading Paul George. In this video, I analyze the Sixers'...

The Dallas Mavericks sacrificed their future for a two-year title window when they traded Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis. That window may have already closed with Kyrie Irving tearing his ACL. But now they have a future by lucking out with the top selection in the upcoming draft. When you get a second chance at a generational player, the practical thing to do is trade your veterans now and build ar...

The San Antonio Spurs jumped in the lottery for a third straight year. They are now loaded with up to six first-round picks to trade, including the second overall selection in the upcoming 2025 draft. They also have several young players of interest, but I think they're going to try to keep them all. De'Aaron Fox nudging his way to San Antonio was just the tip of the iceberg. It feels like Giannis...
