The Orlando Magic have looked similar for a few years in a row now. The definition of insanity says we gotta do something differen't, but we got a lot of good players so a rebuild doesn't make sense. So let's retool them! Paolo & Franz are too talented to trade and we want it to work with them, so they are untouchable. The owner is willing to spend up to just under the 2nd apron, and draft picks are not important to us.
The Blazers have a new owner, and he's making cuts! Money is everything here, because why buy a sports team AND have fun? Goal here is to be as competitive as possible but more importantly be as CHEAP as possible (under the cap). Some things can't go though becasue they sell tickets, and that is Dame. Keep Dame, be cheap, and win games.
Let's be honest... this ain't working in NOLA. Give em a fresh start and a brighter future as a franchise. Only thing is... owner wants to keep his new young players (and DJ for some reason). Fears, Queen, and Jordan are untouchable. He also won't pay the tax, and wants at least 3 first round picks. Get this team a brighter future by selling off anything that still works.
They swung and missed on Bron, but maybe it's not too late? Give Curry the best chance possible to win another ring with the Warriors. Money is no object and who cares about the future? Steph & Dray myst stay!
Get younger, add at least 1 first round pick, and stay below the tax!
