Yeah, so this is always one of the weirder episodes to me because we just jump into the thick of it with the end of the season and the play in and then the playoffs.

We usually do it right at the beginning of the second round when we don't have three or four games a day to keep up on because that's basically a full time job in and of itself.

And so we're so in the thick of the playoffs and what it takes to win in the playoffs and how they're just there's some guys you just can't play at all in the playoffs and now we're this is a great second round with eight fantastic teams all playing and it just kind of like a shock back to reality be like, oh wait, there's this whole other part of the NBA. There's transactions.

There are there are 22 other teams that are not currently playing exactly so we're going to start with shooting guards same way that we do with our position rankings go up the position spectrum will finish with point guards in a future episode.

But let's start by talking about the free agent shooting guards and then of course we go through as well every team later so this will not be as much about where a guy can fit but maybe just more about where we see their value going forward.

It might be useful though Danny just quickly say who are the teams that project to have more than the mid level and then also which teams project out the mid level and which are just going to kind of be taxed out completely.

Uh, not as to go through every team necessarily but if there's some really notable teams because for some of these guys who are looking for more than the mid level they're interior going to have to have a landing spot.

Sure, I just pulled up the my word document of the last piece ever for the athletic on this topic just because it's easier for me.

Um, the teams that I consider to have more caps based on that like you I defined it as more than the middle level to pistons 30 35 million depending on where their draft pick ends up magic 30 million depending on a couple of things spurs and blazers up to 35 but it could be less depending on retention.

Josh yeah or even no cap room at all.

Yeah, just depending on that. I think I think many particularly with Amphanie Simon's expect that the blazers may just stay over.

They've got Josh Hart. They've got a Nourk itch. Yeah, and the spurs have Lonnie Walker and then the blaze the sorry the Pacers might be in a similar boat depending on what happens with TJ Warren and they they could also trade players that are under contract depending on how everything goes.

And then you have the Memphis Grizzlies they depending on another few factors I see them having 16 to 18 million and there to be the most interesting.

Wrote a whole thing on them as the sleeping giant of the 2022 off season then yeah and they they may even stay over as well.

They've got highest Jones and Kyle Anderson as guys that they could resign as well which would eat up most of their space.

So that's really bad news for any kind of like higher end players who want to leverage opportunities because there aren't that many teams and some of those teams I think potentially could be comfortable aiming high and then even rolling over whether that be retaining their own guys or just not you know not using it San Antonio's a potentially good example there.

I think Portland's gonna have a different philosophy and maybe even Orlando like they go after a couple of sheets and then they don't they don't go like 50 million guy just to to have them in the fold then in terms of teams that I expect project to use the to have the ability to use the full the full mid level which we're looking at roughly 10.3 million I haven't adjusted I haven't checked the if it adjusted with the new cap estimate but in that ballpark and that group is the Hawks the Rockets.

The Timberwolves the Knicks the Thunder the Kings the Raps and the Wizards assuming Bradley Beel resigns I mean if you doesn't this is the shooting

grids section we will talk about him then they become a cap space team but that's not what I expect and so that means we have roughly half the league with the taxpayer middle level or even less than that that group would be you know less than the full non taxpayer middle level I have the Celtics the

sports the calves the heat the pells the bulls assuming Zachovene resigns and then in the tax warriors net's clippers Lakers Bucks six or sons jazz Mavericks and nuggets knowing what we know right now obviously some of these will change.

Yeah and this is starting to look very similar at least in terms of the amount of space that there is out there to the 2018 off season however the difference there was there are a lot more good for

agents I would say that summer then there are this year and that's something that we will get into right now one of the more interesting ones on the board is Zach Levine represented by clutch he recently said that he is going to enjoy the
