Fitting Landy Without Blowup

I wouldn't call them fine by any means but the sitution is nowhere near as bad as some of the vultures on here like to make out. Probably a little light on Rants there and also Ned but I think the cap probably increases by at least 4 mil for this particular season if not more given the predicted rise coming. The Avs are very much going to have to rely on the rental situation, cheap contracts in the bottom order and/or developing young players on ELCs (something historically they haven't been great at). The issue with the rental scenario being used constantly is the draining of the pool of youngsters vis a vis having no draft picks, and their scouting will also have to improve to find gems in the lower rounds.

They still have Gulyayev & Ritchie as top prospects. The Avs are in a great position for a few more years minimum. This is what a dynasty looks like. It will have been six years of contending after this season; I count 18-19 as Year1. Avs 1.0 had nine contending years.

Think you are a little light on Ned, Rants, Mitts and possibly Kovalenko but you might still be ok if the cap increases to 92-94 mil as projected
