Reacting to the NBA's 16 Team Lottery Plan

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 06:50:12 +0000

The NBA is inching closer to reforming the lottery. According to ESPN, it's called the "3-2-1 lottery". It's a radical change that will fundamentally change the lottery system. It'll include:

-expanding the lottery to 16 teams
-switching from multiple ping pong ball combinations to drawing a single ball to determine each selection
-drawing selections for all 16 lottery selections as opposed to 4
-flattened odds where teams in the 4-10 range get three lottery balls (8.1% odds)
-a relegation zone where the bottom three teams and 9-10 seeds get two lottery balls (5.4% odds)
-loser of the 7-8 games gets 1 lottery ball each (2.7% odds)
-no consecutive #1 pick winners, no three-year consecutive in the top 5
-no protecting picks 12-15
-expanded disciplinary anti-tanking measures, including the option to reduce lottery odds and draft position
-starts with the 2027 draft and only for three years, so the league can bail on this

Yossi and Sam open with a full postmortem on the Bulls after the firing of Arturas Karnisovas and Mark Eversley, focusing on where the front office held on too long, what a reset should look like, and how Billy Donovan’s job candidacy elsewhere factors in.

Trading Giannis Antetokounmpo Part 2: Trade Proposals the Bucks Might Get

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Fri, 5 Dec 2025 00:33:18 +0000

According to Shams Charania, Giannis Antetokounmpo is contemplating his future. He reportedly informed the Bucks that he preferred the Knicks, and so both sides held negotiations over the summer. No deal materialized, and now he's stuck on a roster that has struggled without him and about .500 when he plays. It's going to be much more difficult for the Bucks to get sufficient value in a trade ahead of the February 5 deadline.

In this episode, we play Who Says No? and lob trade proposals at each other for the Bucks to get for Giannis.

Los Angeles Clippers 2025 Mock Offseason: Jrue Holiday Trade, Harden Contract, & more

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Fri, 30 May 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The Clippers were pegged to be the worst team in the Pacific division by many after losing Paul George. They overachieved, made the playoffs, and almost advanced to the second round. But is this team capped with this result? They have few players with upside and few draft picks to trade. They'll need to upgrade their high-end talent and make some significant improvements if they're going to make a deep playoff run.

In this video, I analyze the Clippers' salary cap situation for their upcoming offseason, negotiate new contracts for James Harden and Norman Powell, add some bench pieces, and trade for Jrue Holiday.

Memphis Grizzlies 2025 Mock Offseaason: Jaren Jackson Jr. Contract & Cam Johnson trade

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 28 May 2025 15:02:03 +0000

The pressure is on for the Memphis Grizzlies to improve the roster this summer. But before they can do that, they need to secure the future of one of their stars. Jaren Jackson Jr. didn't qualify for the supermax so they'll need to get creative in extending him. After that, they'll have an opportunity to be aggressive on the trade market to bring in another forward.In this video, I analyze the Grizzlies' salary cap situation for their upcoming offseason, renegotiate and extend Jackson Jr.'s contract, re-sign Santi Aldama to a front-loaded contract, and trade for Cameron Johnson.Grizzlies offseason preview: https://www.thirdapron.com/p/memphis-grizzlies-2025-offseason-656Grizzlies offseason discussion: https://youtube.com/live/iY2FkopXnwwPROMO: I'll be a Salary Cap instructor at Sports Business Classroom (SBC) this summer.

New Orleans Pelicans 2025 Mock Offseason: Trading up to #2 and for Sabonis

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Sun, 25 May 2025 14:00:47 +0000

The New Orleans Pelicans' 2024-25 season ended before it began. They didn't have a chance due to all their injuries, including a long-term one for Dejounte Murray. To top it all off, they fell three spots in the lottery. They'll be in a position to select one in the draft, but they seem far away from being competitive again. The new front office could look to be aggressive this summer to bolster the roster.

In this video, I analyze the Pelicans salary cap situation for their upcoming offseason, facilitate a Giannis trade that allows them to trade up for Dylan Harper, and acquire a veteran center in Domantas Sabonis.

Philadelphia 76ers 2025 Mock Offseason: Trading down from #3 and Quentin Grimes contract

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Thu, 22 May 2025 14:05:41 +0000

The Philadelphia 76ers lucked out by keeping their pick and seeing it rise to the top 3. They now have the challenge of fielding a competitive team while keeping expenses controlled. They already have a high payroll before re-signing Quentin Grimes and Guerschon Yabusele. They'll need to save money, but it probably won't be from trading Paul George.

In this video, I analyze the Sixers' salary cap situation for their upcoming offseason, re-sign Quentin Grimes and Guerschon Yabusele to new contracts, and trade down from #3 for extra draft picks.

Dallas Mavericks 2025 Mock Offseason: Derrick White Trade and new Kyrie Irving contract

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Mon, 19 May 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The Dallas Mavericks sacrificed their future for a two-year title window when they traded Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis. That window may have already closed with Kyrie Irving tearing his ACL. But now they have a future by lucking out with the top selection in the upcoming draft. When you get a second chance at a generational player, the practical thing to do is trade your veterans now and build around him. But the Mavs seem unlikely to do that. They appear prepared to see things through with this group and worry about their future later.

In this video, I analyze the Mavericks' salary cap situation for their upcoming offseason, re-sign Kyrie Irving to a new contract, and trade for Derrick White, a player I could see them targeting.

San Antonio Spurs 2025 Mock Offseason: Trading for Giannis

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Thu, 15 May 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The San Antonio Spurs jumped in the lottery for a third straight year. They are now loaded with up to six first-round picks to trade, including the second overall selection in the upcoming 2025 draft. They also have several young players of interest, but I think they're going to try to keep them all. De'Aaron Fox nudging his way to San Antonio was just the tip of the iceberg. It feels like Giannis Antetokounmpo will consider the Spurs as a preferred destination and they might have the most attractive package for him.In this video, I analyze the Spurs salary cap situation for the upcoming season and show what is required from them to acquire Antetokounmpo.Spurs offseason preview: https://www.thirdapron.com/p/san-antonio-spurs-five-big-decisionsSpurs offseason discussion: https://youtu.be/YrCowG9BYmUPROMO: I'll be a Salary Cap instructor at Sports Business Classroom (SBC) this summer.

New Orleans Pelicans Trade Primer, Zion Williamson's Options, and Pelicans Future Outlook

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 1 Jan 2025 17:37:49 +0000

The Pelicans are headed to the lottery for the fourth time in six seasons of the post-Anthony Davis era. Injuries have been the primary culprit, and they hit them the hardest this season. This time things will probably end differently. The unavailability has been too much, especially with Zion Williamson. His contract structure gives them an easy out, but moving on from him won't be that simple. They don't have to make any decisions on him or Brandon Ingram this season, but the clock is ticking.

0:00 Intro
0:41 Pelicans disastrous season summary and payroll analysis
3:19 Zion Williamson's non-guaranteed contract structure and why that might mean his time in New Orleans is almost done
5:40 Williamson trade ideas and why they probably keep him through the
end of this season
11:26 Pelicans future payroll issues and how Brandon Ingram and CJ
McCollum could be cap casualties
13:35 Pelicans future outlook and why moving on from Williamson and Ingram isn't as easy as it sounds

Dorian Finney-Smith for D'Angelo Russell trade analysis + Lakers Trade Deadline Primer

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:14:41 +0000

Last night, it seemed like Dorian Finney-Smith was headed to Memphis. Instead, he's headed to the Lakers for three second-round picks. The Lakers have done a decent job at replenishing their wing depth since 2021 and have their most depth there in a while. I think they certainly upgraded their top lineup, but not sure if its enough to put them over the top in the West. Meanwhile, the Nets continue to build on their pile of draft picks. They have the most picks over the next seven drafts than anyone else.

Sacramento Kings Trade Deadline Primer, De'Aaron Fox Trade Rumors, and Mike Brown Firing Thoughts

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Sat, 28 Dec 2024 06:30:25 +0000

The Kings got a taste of success by making the playoffs in 2023 and the pressure has been on to build on that. They just fired Mike Brown in a move that was poorly received around the league. It seems like they're going to do something at the trade deadline if things don't improve. I'm just not sure there's a move that can help them. I think this team is too fundamentally flawed, and I'm not sure they were ever even that good two years ago. They had insanely good health and took advantage of a weird bunched up Western Conference. They haven't been able to keep up since the West's hierarchy stabilized. Along with the recent De'Aaron Fox rumors, things could get very interesting in Sacramento soon.

Zach LaVine to the Nuggets? How a trade would work under the salary cap and apron rules

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 21:43:47 +0000

Last night, The Athletic reported that the Nuggets have significant interest in acquiring Zach LaVine. I remember reading a report 3 or 4 years ago about the Nuggets having interest in him then, but they didn't want to part with Michael Porter Jr. at the time. Now it appears that their stance has changed and they could be open to making this swap happen. I go over multiple frameworks of what a trade could look like and preview the Nuggets' long-term payroll if they bring in a third maximum player.

Dennis Schroder for De'Anthony Melton trade analysis + how the Warriors could still get Jimmy Butler

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Sun, 15 Dec 2024 04:52:17 +0000

It is the eve of trade season and we already have two trades set to go down on December 15. The first significant domino to fall is the Nets agreeing to trade Dennis Schroder and a second-round pick to the Warriors for De'Anthony Melton and three second-round picks. That's on par with what they got for Royce O'Neale, and I'd expect a similar return for Dorian Finney-Smith. They now have 13 second-round picks along with their 15 first-round picks. The Warriors trade a good chunk of their remaining second-round picks to salvage the loss of Melton for the season, but we'll see if he can fit well in Steve Kerr's system. I also show how the Warriors could still acquire Jimmy Butler while being able to keep Schroder.

I examine the Jimmy Butler trade rumors

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 15:21:08 +0000

I wasn't totally sold on the Jimmy Butler trade rumors from over the last summer. He was seeking a one-year extension and the Heat weren't budging on it. Now several different reports are indicating that he may truly be available. If the Heat still doesn't want to give him an extension now, perhaps he has a better chance of securing one if traded. I go over the three main teams he's been linked to and what it would take for them to get a deal done.

2024 NBA Offseason Review - Ep 4: Philadelphia 76ers

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 17:14:55 +0000

When it was reported that James Harden wanted out and that the Sixers weren't going to extend Tyrese Maxey last summer, it became obvious that they were going to pivot to cap space in 2024. They were limited in ways to significantly improve the roster with their payroll tied to their big signings back in 2019. It made a lot of sense to plan for 2024 cap space, especially with a lot of big money coming off the books and an opportunity to keep Maxey as well with his low cap hold. This wasn't the strongest free agent class in recent memory but the Sixers capitalized on getting some of the best players that were available to them. But did they raise their titles odds enough to fulfill their ultimate goal? And how will Paul George's contract look in the backend of it?This might be the most talented and fundamentally sound team the Sixers had since 2018-19.

2024 NBA Offseason Review - Ep 3: Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors (Klay Thompson Trade)

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 05:17:16 +0000

Klay Thompson's time in Golden State was inevitably coming to an end after they tried bringing him off the bench. Understandably so, it's tough to make that transition after all the success he had with the Warriors. He needed a fresh start and will now get to reinvent himself as a great role player with the Mavericks. There may not be a better place for him to thrive than in Dallas playing with Luka Doncic. Although losing Thompson is tough for the organization, they could be better now as well since they can play their young players more. They have a deep roster now and are setting themselves up for a big trade down the line.

2024 NBA Offseason Review - Ep 2: Oklahoma City Thunder

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 05:13:35 +0000

After years of accumulating draft assets in exchange for their best players, the Thunder finally made their big moves. They have a superstar in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, two potential co-stars in Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, and a ton of defensive talent all around the roster. They went ahead and elevated their defense to elite status with the additions of Isaiah Hartenstein and Alex Caruso. They also locked down Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins to contracts that allow them to remain 9-10 deep over the next four years. They are deep at every position and with some playoff experience on their belt, they have a team ready to win the West as soon as next season.

Wow. I don't know what's more shocking. That the Nets traded Mikal Bridges, or that they sent him to the Knicks. They finally were able to capitalize on their assets to acquire a big name.

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 21 Detroit Pistons

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 05:07:16 +0000

I was really high on the Pistons heading into last season. If you think another coaching change will make me just as bullish on them this year then you're damn right. And it's not just because of their cap space to go after players who can help them win now -- I feel they have the young talent alone to make a push toward the Play-In Tournament. But most importantly, they finally are in the direction they should've been in all these years: asset accumulation mode. New President of Basketball Operations Trajan Langdon confirmed so in his intro presser, which would make me feel pretty good if I were a Pistons fan. So I went ahead and showed the types of trades the Pistons could pursue with their cap space that allows them to stock up on future draft picks while also adding veterans who can be in their rotation.

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 20 Memphis Grizzlies

Things have only gone up for the Grizzlies since 2019 and the 2023 playoffs was a brutal reality check for them. And after just going through a gap year filled with injuries, it feels like the league has forgotten about them. They should be back in the playoff picture for the West just by being healthy. However, they do have some moves to make, particularly at center. They should be able to acquire any of the big men that are reportedly available on the trade market. I go over several scenarios where the Grizzlies get a new center, varying from the draft to expensive veterans.

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 18:29:38 +0000

What a run. I was very critical of their trade deadline. I thought they gave up too many assets in the past year for what seemed like floor-raising moves at best. But after seeing them have one of the best post-trade deadline records, I had a feeling that they could have a deep run if the seeding breaks right for them. I felt the only team that could stand in their way were the Denver Nuggets, and thankfully they didn't have to face them. For all we know, this might be the furthest this Mavs team goes for the next few years, but they should still be really good going forward. Their offseason should be relatively simple: re-sign Derrick Jones Jr. I go into how they could open up flexibility to re-sign him, who they could pursue if he doesn't return, and how.

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 18:27:31 +0000

The Warriors as we know them may be gone, but at least they're finally about to have some financial relief. That's because they're finally in a position to avoid the luxury tax after spending nearly $700 million in penalties over the last 9 seasons. It seems like they'll part ways with Chris Paul and Kevon Looney to generate all these savings. They'll be looking to run things back with Stephen Curry, DraymondGreen, and hopefully Klay Thompson. His future is up in the air as both sides have been far apart in extension talks for over a year now. If avoiding the tax is an objective, then they're unlikely to make many major additions this summer. But what if they can add an All-Star? I go over several roster builds for the Warriors, including revisiting their (extremely unlikely) attempt to acquire LeBron James in last year's trade deadline.

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 18:24:25 +0000

The post-Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving era has not been kind to the Nets. For what it's worth, I think they made out really nicely in their respective trades. They now have a surplus of draft equity that could be enough to acquire an All-Star. But will one become available to them? And what kind would they need to really elevate this roster to title contention? I'm skeptical they'll be able to transform this roster to where they want it to be anytime soon. They might be better off negotiating a trade with the Rockets that allows them to get control of their draft picks back so they can take a step back and enter a rebuild. They might be able to get back to relevance faster that way with some young players they can build a future with.

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Fri, 14 Jun 2024 05:31:48 +0000

Is it crazy to think that the Rockets are close to being a contender?
They made a huge step forward last season after bringing in Fred
VanVleet and Dillon Brooks and hiring Ime Udoka. They also saw
breakthrough seasons from players like Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green,
both of whom are eligible for contract extensions this summer. But they
have the draft equity and young players to make an aggressive offer for
an All-Star-level player. And if they can't get anybody now, they could
potentially have max cap space in 2025. They're well-positioned over the
next two years to make a huge addition to their lineup.

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:41:08 +0000

After getting a taste of the playoffs in 2023, last year's Kings could not repeat the same magic. They only lost two more games and suffered several injuries down the stretch that left them shorthanded. However, the rest of the Western Conference also got much stronger, and the Kings probably weren't any closer to getting out of the first round. The Kings will look to aggressively improve the roster this summer and will seek upgrades in the trade market to improve their starting lineup and bench. But they also need to maintain what they have. Malik Monk is entering unrestricted free agency and is limited to offering him a four-year, $78 million contract. Will that be enough to retain him or will another team with cap space steal him away? It will be a challenge for the Kings to accomplish all their goals, which could require an expensive payroll for them to improve over rival teams in the West and sustain their core for several more seasons.

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 13: New Orleans Pelicans

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:39:08 +0000

The Pelicans FINALLY had a (mostly) healthy season and gave this group its fair shot. And they did well maintaining a top 6 seed throughout most of the season. However, they dropped all the way down to the 8 seed and were completely outclassed by the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs. Now that the organization understands the roster and its personnel more, they can identify who to move and who to bring in. They are reportedly seeking an upgrade at center, which is obvious, but also at point guard. They've been linked to Trae Young, Darius Garland, and Dejounte Murray, and I think they have the assets to get any of them as well as a center like Jarrett Allen or Clint Capela. With Trey Murphy set to extend and get promoted to the starting lineup, Ingram seems like the odd man out, especially with a max extension looming. But if they're also bringing in a new point guard, they should probably move CJ McCollum as well. It may be complicated to pull all that off, but thankfully they have up to 6 first-round picks they could trade to move things along.

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 12: Philadelphia 76ers

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:37:44 +0000

This is going to be an extremely consequential offseason for the Sixers. With James Harden not working out, the 76ers pivoted to maximizing their cap space this summer to reshape the roster around Joel Embiid. The only other player guaranteed to return is Tyrese Maxey, who is set to sign a maximum contract with them this summer. Because of his upcoming raise, the Sixers have this summer as their only window to have the flexibility to pursue upgrades in free agency or trades. They are projected to have between $57-65 million, which is enough to sign or absorb anybody. They also can trade up to 5 first-round picks in a trade. They’ve already been linked to just about every big name like Paul George, Jimmy Butler, and Brandon Ingram. In this video, I’ll run a couple projections where the Sixers can get these types of players and show how they can fill the rest of the roster out.

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 11: Los Angeles Clippers

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:34:22 +0000

It's been five years of this and the Clippers have more or less had the same result. Aside from their 2021 run to the Western Conference Finals, most of their postseason appearances have been hampered by injuries. It seems like they're set to run it back despite the team's aging core. They already extended Kawhi Leonard to a three-year deal but Paul George reportedly wants a full four-year maximum contract. It seems crazy that they would continue with this group, but I'm not convinced that it means they're committing to them for the long run. If everyone returns, I think it's possible that this Clippers team could slowly break apart if the team continues to fall short of expectations.

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 10: Isaiah Hartenstein

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:32:02 +0000

Is it possible that Isaiah Hartenstein has played so well that he priced himself out of a return to the Knicks? That seems to be a possibility since they are limited to offering him a four-year deal worth $72.5 million. A team with cap space that really likes him could easily outbid the Knicks for his services. Some of the teams being mentioned as potential suitors, according to Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer, include the Oklahoma City Thunder, Detroit Pistons, and Orlando Magic. In this video I analyze those teams and their potential fit with him and how they could fit him with their cap space. I also talk about why a return to the Knicks on a short-term deal, so he could become a free agent again next year and re-sign for more money, is out of the question.

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 4: Miami Heat

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:28:58 +0000

Last year it was Damian Lillard. This year Donovan Mitchell could be the Heat's top trade target this summer if he doesn't commit to an extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But even if a trade is possible, can the Heat sustain fielding a roster paying him, Jimmy Butler, and Bam Adebayo top dollar? Both players are extension-eligible for maximum contracts this summer which wouldn't kick in for a while, so they could possibly sustain a brief run with this trio. But what if they don't have enough to get him or another All-Star? Do they consider re-signing Caleb Martin or Haywood Highsmith or do they let them go and remain faithful in their ability to find the next role players to replace them?

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 8: Phoenix Suns

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:21:21 +0000

The Phoenix Suns went as all-in on this team as any other front office has ever done in NBA history. They have all but two first-round picks available to trade, but that may not help them much. Because of their expensive rosters, they are severely limited in the types of trades they're allowed to make. Trading Bradley Beal for several cheaper players like a rim-protecting center and a point guard would help, but there's probably no market for him. All they could really do this summer is re-sign Royce O'Neale, and fill up the roster with minimum players. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker aren't going anywhere yet, but another disappointing season could force the Suns to move one of them as this payroll reaches preposterous levels of expenses.

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 7: Los Angeles Lakers

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:17:13 +0000

The NBA offseason hasn't begun until the Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to a star player. Over the last few years it was Kyrie Irving, now this year it's Trae Young and Donovan Mitchell. Both would be welcome additions to the Lakers lineup in theory, but do the Lakers even have enough assets to get a trade done? And even if they do, how would the rest of the roster look like? There are new trade rules in the CBA that trigger hard caps when teams take in more salaries than they're sending out or even combine players to get a more expensive one. If they can land one of these guys, the backend of the roster could suffer because of these new rules.

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 6: Indiana Pacers

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:17:07 +0000

The Indiana Pacers took two short trips to the lottery and made it back to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in a decade. Context for their playoff path aside, it's a pretty quick turnaround for them considering they only pivoted away from the Domantas Sabonis-led core just two years ago. They are now locked into this core led by Tyrese Haliburton who is about to start making maximum dollars. Pascal Siakam is going to command just as much, and they have some decisions to make on other players like Obi Toppin. There isn't much for the organization to do this offseason beyond retaining everyone and developing more continuity.

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:16:09 +0000

The Oklahoma City Thunder's future is looking extremely bright with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Williams. They became the youngest team to win a playoff series and are so close to getting to the Finals. They need to address their frontcourt and they have the means to do it. Armed with $33 million in cap space, they could sign just about any top forward who wants to join. They also have so many draft picks to make an adequate offer for just about any frontcourt player in a trade. The possibilities are abundant, and I go over one where they use some of their flexibility to lock up Isaiah Joe while adding an All-Star forward.

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 3: Cleveland Cavaliers

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:12:38 +0000

The Cleveland Cavaliers have incrementally progressed over the past three seasons with a talented but flawed roster. After winning their first playoff series, expectations are picking up and the pressure is on organizationally. The biggest domino is Donovan Mitchell. They gave up a lot for him and need to keep him long-term. If he doesn't extend, do they risk taking him into free agency? Either way, it sounds like at least one of him or Darius Garland will be traded this season. And with Evan Mobley set to get a significant extension this summer, do they consider trading Jarrett Allen as well? And would acquiring another max player like Brandon Ingram make sense for their payroll long-term? It may be time to split up the two small guards and two centers to create a more versatile lineup.

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:11:22 +0000

The New York Knicks are in such a great place heading into the offseason. They have two key free agents to re-sign in OG Anunoby and Isaiah Hartenstein. Both will get significant raises, but the Knicks should be able to pay whatever it takes to retain them while keeping the payroll reasonable. At the same time, they're still armed with 8 first-round picks to trade for a star. Will that player finally become available? I go over contract projections for Anunoby, Hartenstein, as well as Jalen Brunson, and show how they could also potentially add an expensive star like Giannis Antetokounmpo while abiding by the new trade rules.

2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 1: Denver Nuggets

yossigozlannba@gmail.com (Yossi Gozlan) — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 23:35:00 +0000

Hi everyone, this is my first video on this channel where I discuss the NBA with a focus on the salary cap. The Denver Nuggets were eliminated last night but this core will still be contending for titles. But for how much longer? It seems obvious that they'll keep everyone, but the new CBA could make it challenging. They'll probably happily spend whatever it takes, but they probably want to at least avoid the newly implemented second apron. I get into that and explain how the Nuggets could potentially do that over the following two seasons while giving Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope new contracts. They may have no choice but to be over the second apron at some point, but there's definitely a pathway to avoid it.
