To me it looks like this:
- Miami and Philly look like most serious spenders. If Miami loses on Lowry I think they make best offer for Dipo. If Philly loses on Lowry, I think their target will be a shooter (preferably PG) and I see Powell and Hill as main targets.
- Denver, Boston and perhaps Portland are semi strong bidders for win now players. Willing to offer something but not too much. Gordon, Powell and Fournier might be their top targets.
- Clippers would want to upgrade but their assets are limited. I see them in play for Hill. Perhaps Brooklyn is in same class with Dinwiddie.
- GSW will try to do something around Oubre but I see them mostly stand pat
- Chicago, Charlotte, Pelicans, Minnesota I think will be looking for talent upgrade and might end up trading between themselves for better fitting players (like Ball for Markanen)
- I think Atlanta, Memphis, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Sacramento and Utah will stay pat, just perhaps some minor moves
- Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, OKC, Orlando are sellers
- New York will try to sell their cap space but is reluctant to pay draft compensation to bring in a good player
- Washington, Indiana and San Antonio are a mistery to me. They are the ones that could really shake things up either by selling or buying. They can go either way or stand pat.
