re: Should we be a tax team this season?

If a true needle mover came available then I think we would. But I think it should only be done if the fit is right. We really don't need another ball dominant player unless we're actually upgrading Zion or BI. I think we should be setting ourselves up for the tax starting next year. In order to delay the repeater penalty start until next year. Personally I'd like to see us get another Nance type 4-5 (Isaiah Stewart if he didn't have a damn poison pill contract), flip some combo of pick/Kira/Naji/dyson for it ideally, and keep JV to resign for 12-15 per in the off-season. Then, once this season is done have them do a true evaluation as to what BI will cost long term and the viability of him and Zion together. The Pels are a good team right now, and could be a solid 2nd Rd or conference finals team with good playoff matchups I think. But we aren't beating the nuggets or healthy clippers in a 7 game series this year without a major upgrade, and I don't see one being available this year.

Agreed. You dont want to start the repeater if you dont have to. If we look like a contender in february and can add a big piece then sure.
