I do think the hard cap would bring more balance but they also need to get rid of the max contracts and let the elite players get their true value which will also make it harder for teams to bunch up stars.

Looking at the west we have a slim or none chance with the current roster to make the playoffs.
We have a big 2.5 with Davis Cousins Holiday we have no bench weak Head Coach.
If this team starts out the gate below .500 in the first 20 games call it a day.
I know you guys are Potential winners out there but realistically we are what are record says the last 2 years.
The blame of this situation is square on the Owner Mr. Benson.
I have been a season ticket holder since 2010. I have watched the thin crowds over and over.
I see more fans for the opposite team at some games than the home team.
Spurs Cavs Warriors when in town they have more jerseys in the stands than The Pelicans. It's sad but Mr. Benson and his wife sit in their box seats and see this. They hear the loud Boos when Alvin Gentry is announced every game so it's not a surprise.
I am not sure what the future holds on this roster but it don't look like anything close to a playoff ball club. Potential don't win games. Other teams in the West are locked and reloaded.
To be fair though, this is the same roster as last year, and last year we were fighting to stay relevant, this year we will be battling for the 7th or 8th seed. This year will be very interesting, and with this being a make or break year for Demps and Gentry, look for them to attack like a dog that has been locked in a cage.
Big moves coming soon?

And no, my source is not Dell
He is trying hard. I would expect something today or tomorrow

I agree. I'm actually pretty surprised people think this current roster can compete for anything. We can barely compete for a playoff spot, let alone a ring. Roll into next year as is and we'll be competing in the lottery while Cousins walks away and Davis demands a trade.
Atleast we have a timeline today or tomorrow
Can confirm the Wizards are signing guard Jodie Meeks for two-years, $7 million. They're using their bi-annual exception to do so.
