KTR Dynasty Analysis

[Laimbeer40]

Cleveland Cavs

Owner: tomviolence

Owner Analysis: TV is always active and often unlucky. Tank jobs in his basketball leagues netted him Ja Morant and Zion. What looked like sure things now are way more murky. 

Current Roster:
Top 30 - 1 (Zion)
Top 50 - 1 (Vassell)
Top 75 - 0
Top 125 - 0
Top 150 - 3 (Branham, Josh Green, N. Reid)
Top 200 - 2 (Vando, J.Hawkins)

Extension Decisions:  
Ayo Dosunmu UFA is $6m (Not exactly a hefty price tag but more than you want to pay for 5.5ppg)
Jordan Goodwin UFA is at least $5m (Similar to Ayo and his price tag could go up)
Jabari Walker UFA is $2.5m for now (Jabari getting some run on the floundering Blazers. Would be a mistake to not extend before Feb 1st)
Jarred Vanderbilt UFA is $7.5m (Vando still has potential. Get him extended while he's still somewhat cheap before returning from injury)
Naz Reid UFA is at least $7.5m (Right now, Naz would be $9m to extend. I'd jump all over that. He could go as low as $7.5m but could easily go higher. Maybe wait until late Jan) 

Can't Extend:
Has avoided the mercenary route thus far

Deep Sleepers:
Kris Murray (His brother Keegan has been decent so hopefully Kris can show some more with additional seasoning)
MarJon Beauchamp (The opportunity is there for a Bucks squad that lacks depth but so far returns are minimal)
Julian Champagnie (Hustle guy who can find minutes but shooting 28% from the field won't be good for fantasy)
Adama Sanogo (I see shades of Neemias Quetas here. Dominates G-League but rarely seen in NBA games)

Outlook: I think it can be clearly seen from the breakdown of their roster by rankings... there just isn't enough talent here. If Zion can stay healthy that will be huge for CLE. Vassell looks legit. They have a few more guys with potential that can be extended affordably. They are still closer to a rebuild than a playoff team. I'd be trying to sell a fully paid Barnes for a 1st and seeing if anyone liked my young guys enough to pay for the potential.
