Seven NBA Teams with Major Cap Space and Shooting Needs
Offseason Cap Space and Shooting Deficiencies
As the 2024 NBA offseason approaches, seven teams find themselves with ample cap space and a pressing need for shooting upgrades. Most of these teams lack consistent outside threats, making it a top priority for their front offices.
Teams with Significant Cap Space
The following teams have over $20 million in projected cap space this offseason:
- Orlando Magic
- San Antonio Spurs
- Oklahoma City Thunder
- Indiana Pacers
- Utah Jazz
- Charlotte Hornets
- Detroit Pistons
Need for Shooting
Despite their cap flexibility, these teams have struggled with shooting efficiency. Here's a breakdown of their three-point shooting percentages last season:
- Magic: 34.9%
- Spurs: 34.7%
- Thunder: 34.3%
- Pacers: 34.1%
- Jazz: 34.0%
- Hornets: 33.9%
- Pistons: 33.7%
These low percentages indicate a need for players who can create their own shots and knock down open looks. Adding consistent shooters would significantly enhance their offensive firepower and create more opportunities for their playmakers.
Potential Targets
Several free agents and trade candidates fit the shooting profiles these teams seek, such as Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors and Buddy Hield of the Indiana Pacers.
