Scary thought. They are 1 superstar away I think.
Yes they are probably 1 acquisition away or 2 Vets most likely
141M is the cap next year, OKC is just 102M projected next year, Rookie contracts pa kasi mostly (Chet, 2 Williams, Giddey etc). They can add a Joel Embiid sized salary to their roster and they can still manage to be under the cap.
Gordon Hayward's 31M salary for this year is finally over and came off OKC's books na. He will not be re-signed.
Assets?
