Mecca of the “B” Team

I don't think they will panic.The Deng contract is still hurting. That was a true Short Buss masterpiece. lol
I'm not too worried if they strike out in FA. If that happens, I expect they will find a couple more Brooke Lopez and KCP type players to sign to 1 year deals so they can preserve their cap space for the 2019 off-season.
I just pray that Magic and Pelinka don't do a panic type move and sign a couple of "2nd tier guys" to 1st tier contracts. That would put them in that middle mediocre area. Then it would be pray that both Ingram and Ball develop into stars...or be a 5-8 seed level team for the foreseeable future.
They seem to have a good plan and their moves have been more or less spot on, so I doubt they do that. But you never know.
They seem to have a pretty solid plan in place, even if they strike out this year.
At worst, they will go the 1 year route again until next off Season when more big names are available.
I would match almost any deal Randle gets. Because, if he keeps playing like this, you won't have a issue trading him.
