Now that the Raptors have gotten the whole city drunk and out in the street, it is officially time to begin the offseason. The Lakers already added Anthony Davis, but all hell is set to break loose on the 30th at 6 PM

no joke I would really hate that

a sign and trade for Capela, Gordon, and Tucker could be good but I would have a really hard time letting go of Butler. Capela could be used to add depth somewhere. But Butler's so good! unless you're absolutely sure you're going to land Kawhi or keep Harris I don't see why they would engage in this Daryl Morey coke dream

If he would be leaving anyway, I would unironically come away pretty happy with Capela, Gordon and Tucker for Jimmy Buckets. Not that I don't want Jimmy to stay, but that's really good depth, not to mention much needed toughness and outside shooting. Is Capela capable of playing PF at all?

All three of these guys have reasonable contracts, each of which seem pretty easily tradeable.

The main thing is, I have no idea what leverage Houston would have to force this thing to happen.

my thing with Capela is that he's for sure a goner on this roster as currently constructed. maybe you trade him for someone on the wing? Tucker and Gordon would be great fits.

Houston has basically no leverage until Butler says I'm signing with Houston or something

What are reasonable expectations for Porzingis next season?

I honestly think he'll be back to 100% next year. ACL isn't as serious as it used to be and he never banged heavy in the post or anything so it would be a shock to see him struggle outside of shaking off the rust

Question regarding salary cap, do contracts of players that have been cut (like Josh Smith where he is still being paid) go towards a team's current/future salary cap? Or is it written off some how?

Is there a limit teams are allowed to spend on coaches and coaching staff? Does the league monitor this?

The same goes for athletic/medical/training teams, or does that fall under a team's general yearly payroll budget?

Remember when Cedric Ceballos scored 50 points?

I'm pretty sure teams can spend whatever on coaches and other staff

and yeah, if someone gets cut then the team doing the cut is responsible for their remaining salary
