Episode notes
Suspension Shifts Team Risk And Cap Math
- Paul George's 25-game suspension dramatically shifts the Sixers' on-court outlook and luxury-tax flexibility.
- Spike and Michael see both roster risk (play-in likelihood) and salary-cap relief that eases trade pressure.
Protect Core Players With Tax Savings
- Use the suspension's tax savings to avoid gutting the roster at the deadline and preserve core rotation pieces.
- Target moves like trading Eric Gordon or one salary-generating player rather than losing a starter like Grimes or Oubre.
Suspension Could Serve As Playoff Rest
- The timing of the suspension could be a hidden upside: Paul George might return fresh for playoff ramp-up.
- Hosts note that missing regular-season minutes may preserve his legs and help postseason performance.
