What if…?
Pose a hypothesis and the assistant predicts — grounded in real data, not hunches. Signing mode.
The prediction is computed on real data (CBA cap fit + the team's weak spot). It's a simulation, not a forecast.
The assistant says
Zach LaVine arrives with 19.2 pts · 2.8 reb · 2.3 ast · 2.5 threes. The real cost is cap management: OKC would have to send out ~47.2 M$ to make room. Not the exact patch for its weak spot (assists), but it raises the ceiling in threes. Simulation: demanding on the cap and doesn't solve the weak spot — only if it raises the ceiling.
Does he fit? · cap match
OKC is over the first apron: to take on his 47.5 M$ it would have to send out ~47.2 M$ in salary.
On-court fit
OKC is thin on assists (19th in the league) and it's not LaVine's game, but he adds talent in threes (2.5/game).
