He'll play day 1. He might not get 30+ minutes per night early in the season but hes going to get burn. The team will probably look vastly different by Jan 1 than it does today. Theres talk of Demar being bought out as well as Zach coming off the bench if he doesnt get traded.

Great work by Keith though he did leave out the #Kangz level. Though it would be a 1 line entry, "Your Cap level is screwed for the next 3-4 years because your FO is chasing the play in with mid level exceptions and trading bad contracts for even longer worse contracts"

It's been a while since I created the original version of this, so I updated it for 2026-27. Note: these are the current projections for the Cap, Tax, Aprons and Exceptions. Hope this helps people understand the various spending levels and restrictions with each. Send feedback!
