What do you think are the floor and ceiling of this team? How high can we realistically climb and how low can we fall? What grade would you give them at the moment, even if it’s just 14 games in? Are we in dire need to make a trade as soon as possible or should we wait another month and see how things develop with the current squad?

    At 15-ish games in, could be as high as #1, or as low as #30 still. Knock on fingers and cross wood that everyone stays healthy. :)

    DAL has a bunch of the roster on “exemption level” contracts, MLE, TPMLE, BAE. Those contracts are all pretty much “interchangeable” as 1:1 trade options, and there’s more of them / teams in the league who have and can move those contracts. As long as the total talent is “equal”, those are the sort of “positional fit” trades, that don’t necessarily require any draft assets moving between the parties.
