So, we're still well down the priority list for players whose priority is money... thus, makes it somewhat tougher to imagine any of the top FAs remaining will be attracted to take one of our backcourt openings. And that goes for LouWill as well, except that we can sign him with Bird rights if we really want to do that.

Pardon the ignorance, but are the exceptions stackable? To clarify, could we add the Bi-annual and the MLE and offer it to someone? or do they have to be used on seperate players?

Like John, that deal is good for both sides. Randle could've gotten a huge deal next year, but he's going down in the pecking order due to all the new additions.

[capstone21]

Iggy would be a great addition for leadership although he will probably go back to GS

Seems wise to pump the brakes on our hopes for a decent addition to the roster now that I look closer.

Hopefully, I'm wrong, but we're likely to not be as attractive an option. To be more certain, would have to go look at how many roster slots these teams above still could fill.

Most plausible addition really is LouWill since we can pay whatever we want to pay for him. But even that is an open question, of course, since he's evidently attracting others' interest and since he's said he's looking for a multiyear deal.

LouWill can't be very pleased with the CBS Sports people, btw... he somehow got totally left off their list, unless my eyes deceived me.

Like this better than CBS' list...

@Spud2nique  Your boy Stanley Johnson is a FA.

Half the unsigned guys are headed to Brooklyn or LAL on minimum salaries I would assume.

Ya'll the East teams are set for the next few years. Philly and the Simmons situation being the exception.

Nets core is together on the books until 2023

Sixers with Embiid through 2023 (likely extends, Harris 24')

Bucks 3 are together through 2024 (Middleton 24', Holiday 25', Giannis 26')

Knicks, Randle-Rose-Fournier through 2024 (TBD on Kemba length)

Heat through 2024 (Butler 26', Bam 26', Lowery  24')

Hawks through 2026 with JC, 27' with Trae

Celtics Tatum-Brown  (lol) through 2024

Obviously major trades can shake things up, but for now the key pieces for these teams are pretty much set in stone. This is the competition that we will be up against for at least the 1st half of Trae and JC's new deals.

If the Bulls extend Lavine that will be another core set in stone as well.

I think Indy falls out, Washington doesn't have enough to compete, Toronto is apparently about to look completely different in 24+ hours. Detroit and Cleveland are young with upcoming talent. Orlando is lost.

Charlotte are the wild cards, they are right there in that 9 seed range ready to catch teams slipping.

Going forward, here is my East hierarchy:

1. Nets (Title contenders)

2. Bucks (title contenders)

3. Hawks (conference finals contenders)

4. Heat (conference finals potential)

5. Sixers (2nd round team)

6. Knicks (1st round team)

7. Celtics (1st round team)

8. Bulls (1st round team)

9. Hornets (1st round potential, play in team)

10-12 (no order) Indy, Was, Tor

13-15  (no order) Det, Cle, Orl

Ya we are done. Or near done I guess none of these guys applies to us. Maybe Sap.
