It's insane how many teams are bumping up against the cap this summer... As it stands, there are only about 6 or 7 teams that can offer max contracts to players not already on their roster without making significant moves to free up salary. That creates a domino effect around the entire league, as there's only so much money to be had this offseason.
So, yeah, Orlando is in the worst spot -- they're a bad team AND they have very little cap space to work with. Which is why there's a possibility that Aaron Gordon could be had... It's also probably why they're focused on drafting a splashy guy like Trae Young -- they still gotta sell tickets, especially if they let their best player walk.
