Deng to Miami

I agree. Don't know what the panic is for.

They really haven't improved, at best you have a lateral move and at worst the team isn't as good in an improved eastern conference. PJ and Vonleh aren't going to get a lot of minutes, that's it..... Plus the team is essentially capped money wise for the next two seasons and is a borderline playoff team.

Aren't they in the ~$13M under the cap range?

To be honest I couldn't watch the season (out of market) just followed the box scores.  And glued into our playoff run.  However our biggest loss I've heard is McRoberts, (however I didn't see anything irreplaceable in the playoffs that I recall.) We played legitimate TEAM ball, no one player besides Al carried our team. CDR has a huge following and I see people begging for him to come back on his Social Media....but I literally CRINGED AND HATED to see him get the ball in our series. (i.e. him handing the ball to Wade to end a game -__- )

Indiana- Still going to be a playoff team with George/Hibbert/Miles/West and possibly Stephenson.

Miami- Still going to be a playoff team with Bosh/Wade/Deng/McRoberts/Napier/Granger

Toronto- They've lost no one and were the third seed last year. Will probably still be a playoff team with Lowry/DeRozan/Patterson/Val

Chicago- Added Pau Gasol. Derrick Rose will also be back. Will still be a playoff team with Rose/Butler/Gibson/Gasol/McDermott

Brooklyn: Lost Shaun Livingston and Paul Pierce, still has Deron Williams and Joe Johnson. May miss the playoffs due to age.

Cleveland: Added James and Wiggins. Will make the playoffs with James/Irving/Wiggins

Washington: Replaced Ariza with Paul Pierce. Will make the playoffs with Wall/Beal/Pierce/Gortat

Atlanta: No significant losses, will have Al Horford back. Will make the playoffs with Teague/Millsap/Horford

Charlotte: Replaced McRoberts with Marvin Williams. May make the playoffs with Jefferson/Walker

Who is the odd team out?

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
