Today, we’re going to be trading with the New Orleans Pelicans. This is the trade we end up doing:
CJ isn’t a great fit on this team, but we couldn’t get anyone better than him, unfortunately.
This is our team at the start of next season:
And this is the team at the end of the season:
We finish with the best offense in the league but the second-worst defense as well. McCollum turned out to be a great sixth man but he didn’t really help us where we needed it most. Our 49 wins were good enough for the three seed, so let’s see if that’s good enough for a championship, too.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
We swept Miami in the first round then got swept by the Chicago Bulls in the second round. Only seven more trades to go after this. Hopefully we find a good one.
