Third Apron

In this mock offseason, I analyze the Wolves' salary cap situation, contract projections for Julius Randle, Naz Reid, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and try to fit them all within the second apron. Then, I show the alternative of how they could trade for Kevin Durant and what's required within the salary cap rules to accomplish that.

In this mock offseason, I analyze the Celtics' salary cap situation for their upcoming offseason and show how they could significantly reduce payroll and tax penalties while maintaining future draft assets. I also show how they could do it without using a cap space team like the Brooklyn Nets.

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.
