Don't got cap space, Ernie Grunfeld will keep the roster the same. Maybe Ariza walks and Otto is the starting SF. Maybe Airza is kept and we look to trade Webster.

The only improvements the Wizards can look towards is Wall taking the next step... as well as Brad Beal.
how much is Ariza looking at getting?

He and Gortat made $7.7 million each this past year, if you remember after the 2009 Finals, they both got the same big contracts from Houston and Dallas... LAL didn't want him at that price and Gortat was matched by ORL.

I'd say he is looking at that same sort of salary. 4 years $28 million is what I'd expect Ariza to get. I think Gortat is looking at Tiago Splitter's contract of 4 years $36 million as a bench mark.

Grunfeld overpays his guys though... as we saw with Webster last summer.

76ers..it's a no brainer

4th largest TV market/incredible sports town

Around $35 Mil+ in cap space (plus the cap is going up $5 mil for next season) - just about enough to sign 2 max guys

the 3rd and 10th pick/plus 5 2nd round picks - (Parker, Wiggins, or Embiid) and another solid pick with the 10th pick or possibly packaging it with Thad Young and some of the 2nd rd picks to move up or maybe even try to get Kevin Love (outside shot i know)

2 lottery picks from last year - Carter Williams and Nerlens Noel

If Lebron really wants to have his own team surrounded by great young players he'd sign with them, but I know that's damn near impossible…then again that's what everyone would've said about Miami too
AR-AB doin 3-6 tho

The Cavs could potentially be fukking disgusting if they do the right thing and draft Embiid, there hasn't been a good low post defender on the team since Z left. Varejao is more of a disrupter than a shot blocker and Spencer Hawes is all height with no d:whoa:pause. Zeller is :ehh: but the Mike Brown regime refused to give him consistent minutes. Parker/Wiggins would overlap with kyrie and dion, all Embiid has to do is eat off assists and develop his defense further. Kyrie and Dion will actually pass the ball to offensively competent players, Kyrie was looking at Hawes like :myman: everytime he set him up for a three, imagine Kyrie passing it to the post and Embiid Dream-shaking cats instead of Tristian pump faking for 20 minutes and still getting his shot blocked:lupe:

Philly
Hornets
Kemba is getting better al Jefferson is a beast and they get a 9th pick in this draft plus cap space and finally changed there name from the awful bobcats to one of the goat sports names and logos again

Now the Hornets are a team that I would recommend to take a chance on Derrick Rose. Trade Kemba +others stuff to get Rose from Chicago (who I suspect will look to go in a different direction with regards to Rose). If he's healthy, he and Al Jefferson would be a nice tandem.

Pelicans are looking to be in the mix next year, but they are going to need a big if they expect Anthony Davis to have any longevity.

tales of Sam Presti's genius have been greatly exaggerated. :sas2:
I think presti's a excellent at evaluating talent but sucks at making drastic changes.

look at some of his picks

RW-
Ibaka
Reggie Jackson
Steven Adams

all 4 of those players wouldn't be who they're now if not for player development.

Next to the Bucks, the Sixers by theory have the most likelihood of improving considering they had the second worst record in the NBA. A 30 win season would be a huge improvement. :manny: Not to mention the two top 10 lottery picks, reigning rookie of the year in MCW, A rejuvenated Nerlens Noel. And by far the most money to spend in the league :banderas:

Jrue & Ryan should be healthy

Hopefully Lite Skin Doc improves

And 'Reke was comin' to form :hmm: Was the reason we lost our pick
