The job when you take over
- $8.53M of cap space is a lot of room: you can take on salary in trades or chase the best free agents on July 1.
- 10 contracts end after this season, so next summer's re-signing window decides who stays.
- You've already traded away your 2027 first-round pick. The prospect pipeline matters more than usual.
