Jared played for the title every year and was one of the best around at finding value out of nowhere. But you're seeing a bit of the fallout over there with all those extensions and none of them discountable. Even without the rule change, your Avs have $26.5m in cap space next season with $54.8m in extensions. lol...
But this is kinda how Jared did it - he re-formed his roster 2 or 3 times in his tenure here. And always came back in championship form, so, mucho kudos there.
Despite that - I don't think delaying this a year is really necessary or helpful. There's just as many contracts that expire in 20/21 - so if we shift a year, the teams that are getting hit hardest now would see some relief, but another group of teams with more 20/21 expiration's would end up on the sh!t end of the stick. Tear the band-aid off quick, I say. I am sorry for what that means for you. A tough situation becomes tougher.
The main issue I see with doing it this year is the money sent from team to team. I know I have a ton of money sent to me. I'm on board with it either way.
I realized I needed to make a run this year and maybe next, and then will have to tear this team down a bit and start over a little. I knew that coming in.
