    You really think they'll let us play in the NBDL playoffs?

    NOL
    LAC

    Outside of multiple major injuries no chance we beat those teams. So we would be in a battle with Dallas, Utah, Phoenix (w/o LMA) for that final playoff spot. I'd be shocked if we can even be in the race. But people thought the same of Phoenix two years ago and they won nearly 50 games. So I'm not saying its impossible but so very highly unlikely I wouldn't take those odds if someone was willing to pay me 10-1.

    No . . . Not really at all in fact. Maybe not bottom 10 in the league, but still pretty "turrible." Losing LaMarcus, Wesley and RoLo and replacing them with the guys we have now probably puts us in 32 wins territory.

    Which is why I mentioned the $27M remaining in cap space. We're not done yet.

    Deandre Jordan. Tobias Harris. Demar Derozan (Toronto allegedly wants to trade him to avoid the larger max he'll command next summer). Deng if we get him from Miami in a S&T. Someone else that I can't think of the Neil would be able to swing a trade for using cap space.

    I don't know, but the point is that the roster isn't complete yet.
