If jaylen brown ever realizes he can attack any wing player (not named Kyle korver) this aggressively and gets a better layup package? Yikes. Tatum and Brown have serious potential to be a monster 1-2 punch

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

If he doesn't? The blazers have just freed up a ton of salary to help build around dame/cj

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

Blazers can mimic okc. Dump salary of young and expensive players and get a top player on a rental with the hope he stays

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

@mc_nasty olynyk was productive. A solid draft pick at the end of the day

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

@mc_nasty bradley isn't undersized. He was forced to play sg to help thomas. Will prob go back to being a pg

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

And to make things tougher? The nba salary cap is stabilizing and the Tv contract landscape is changing rapidly with new tech

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

Denver is an under the radar team that will face this dilemma soon too. The blazers $ problems are exhibit A of this scenario

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

marcus smart, another solid pick, is due for a contract soon. Tatum and Brown are both top 3 picks too. Tough situation

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

The Celtics are in a similar position. Thomas has to be paid soon. They had to get rid of solid draft picks Bradley and Olynyk.

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

76ers also have multiple 1st round picks in Dario, TLC and Komaz. Going to be very interesting to see how they navigate this.

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

76ers have 3, top 3 picks. Joel, Ben and Markelle. If good as promised? That's 3 max contracts waiting for them.

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

wizards are now all in with wall, beal, and porter. We saw how bad the wizards bench was in the playoffs. Going to be hard to improve it

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

The thing about getting all of those draft picks? Eventually you have to pay them and get into the "vaunted" luxury tax

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

I hope the celtics and 76ers fans are paying close attention to the wizards matching otto porter. (Pun intended)

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

RT @SLAMonline: The Wizards matched Brooklyn's $106.5 million offer for Otto Porter https://t.co/Px4MzHyWAL

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

If this 76ers nucleus doesn't pan out for any reason, the reset won't be as easy and they will have to wait in a crowded line

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

Those 11 playoff spots aka no mans land, will always be a thing. You can't avoid it. It's best to just enjoy the ride.

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

There's about 5 teams with legit chances at a title, 2 of them stronger than most. That means 11 teams will fill mandatory playoff spots

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

There are only a finite amount of lottery picks, superstars and playoff spots.

[NBA @NBAFACTS]

Here's a little secret. Being the middle of the pack is mandatory lol no matter how much teams try to avoid it
