Very good article. Agree with keeping all of the picks. Also, I pointed this out in another thread:
Only one of the past 20 champions finished with a defensive rating outside the top 10. Over the past 36 years, only one team had a relative defensive rating worse than the league average, according to numberFire. That team was the 2000–01 Lakers, which featured Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal. This season’s Cavaliers could become the second team.

Didn't the Blazers (small sample size; "easy" schedule) have a top 10 defensive rating during the Nurkic pre-injury run?
 
"There’s also some logic to packaging one of the picks with Meyers Leonard to dump his salary, but that wouldn’t even get them under the cap. "

Cutting the three he mentioned and making this tread would get us under the LT, though we'd need to make more room for the 2 remaining picks.

It was also an incrdibly soft schedule, with just a couple of really good opponents. I'm not sure I'd read too much into it (good or bad).
 
Our lack of any kind of interior presence in this series made Javalle McGee look like a future HOF'er.

We were missing our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string centers. We played our 4th string center who is injured and who sucks for a little bit, and then went with a PF and some SFs at C. I wouldn't read too much into JM's play.
 
"I work well with confidence, and I don't feel like it's been reciprocated."

Is he calling out the coaches/players/management for not believing in him?
