Cleveland Cavaliers

Brunson has already outplayed expectations when he signed as a FA a couple of seasons ago, but there is one wish for that Cavs that is coming true before our eyes. 

That wish is Scottie Barnes. I think he also has outplayed expectations of what his third season would look like. He has been amazing out of the gate, and is looking like a franchise players.

Dallas Mavericks

Playing time. Playing time for their young guys is what they are wishing for. 

The Mavs have quite a young roster, but out of the 15 guys, 7 to 8 of them are not getting any minutes in the NBA or are but in the G league. In order for this roster to continue to develop these guys will eventually need to get some meaningful minutes and take steps forward. 

Golden State Warriors

This one is quite simple� their pick back. The warriors do not own their own pick until 2028. With how this season is looking so far, I am sure getting any of their picks back is on all possible wish lists, whether Christmas, birthdays or Easter. 

Utah Jazz

Another blockbuster deal. Utah have made amazing moves to get them where they are now but I do not believe they are finished. I am aware some talks have been conducted where Utah are sending multiple assets for another upgrade. They would definitely be a powerhouse if this eventuates. 

Washington Wizards

The wizards are wishing for clarity. At the moment they are torn between their young guys and the stars on their roster.  I know the GM adores his young studs, in Black Ivey and Ayton, but also obviously loves his all stars in Booker and George. I am sure their have been offers involving his young high prospects, whether he wants to condense for another contender type player or lets his young flowers blossom. 

Indiana Pacers

Not burn too many bridges�

Maybe I am speaking out of turn, but I have heard first hand of deals been offered by Indy and when accepted by the other GM, the deal has been backed out of. 

Who am I to comment though, from all accounts I am not the easiest to deal with, but id assume this isn�t the way to a good reputation, hopefully this won�t affect relationships going forward. 

Portland Trailblazers

One last hoorah! Of late Portland have flirted with the idea of a rebuild or retool, but I would imagine what they really want is one last hoorah, proving his dominance to the rest of the league. The endings to last season still do no sit well with him, so perhaps some payback may also be on the wish list.

Milwaukee Bucks

Set a new wins record. I am not sure exactly what the wins record is currently at, I think 70 something, set by either Portland or San Antonio. 

With the Bucks only having dropped one game thus far, I would say having eyes on the wins record is more than realistic. Lets see if the squad lead by SGA has it in them. 

Minnesota Timberwolves

Get our boy Butler back. Butler who is well known for his toughness, has unfortunately uncharacteristically missed a bit of time this season. I don�t believe it is anything too serious and the Wolves have still been doing well, but I am sure the GM is more than ready to have their fearless leader back.
