Yeah I agree with that, doesn't look like a it'll be a problem given the lists and the assets they will have. But I think if you're taking Neal you take him to immediately trade him, or trade him later that season unless he wants to sign there long term. Cammalleri isn't really attractive to a team that is freshly building IMO, I think you only take him if another team indicates interest in him.
I think too many people are looking at their selections as if these players will actually play a long time for them. I think they're going to deal a significant number of the guys they draft and will prioritize taking assets above all else. Assets they can move will be a big part of this.
