Google tells me Prosper is under contract for next season, not a UFA?

Boy, even if the LeDrama doesn’t come here, I think the Wolves are much improved. Subtraction of moody Julius is a plus (both for his moodiness and for increased opportunities for Jaden and Shannon), addition of Ball is a historic plus, Green helps mitigate the loss of Dante. Top 3 offense, top 12 d...

The more I think about it, Kendrich Williams doesn’t make any sense for us. He’s 6’7, 210 with a 6’7.25 wingspan. He’s just a backup SF who can hit threes. Josh Green is actually bigger, more athletic and can also hit threes. If the thinking here is that we’re too small with Jaden at PF, then we sh...

I agree with Lip, there’s a lot to like with Josh Green. I asked Google to compare his game to Donte’s: 1. 3-Point Shooting Profile (Volume vs. Efficiency) - Donte DiVincenzo (The Dynamic Volume Shooter): DiVincenzo is a highly dynamic, aggressive volume shooter. He doesn't just wait in the corners;...

He's perfectly fine at the minimum. Not a playoff rotation player (may be he can still grow into that?), but definitely a useful regular season player. Plus he can shoot the damn ball and we need shooters. In terms of competent primary ball handlers we have Ball, Bones, and Ayo, with Ant, Shannon, ...

I was just listening to the recent Dane podcast with Jace, and Dane made the observation that the Wolves have become “frail” (his word) in the backcourt now. So toughness and rebounding will be important in next power forward. But he also said the Wolves will need a power forward that can shoot, giv...

Thanks Lip, I know you’re obsessing over this and I appreciate it! Here’s what Claude tells me the Wolves could acquire for $6 million/year: 1. Marvin Bagley III — higher offensive ceiling/stretch shooting, same price range, arguably better stylistic fit replacing Reid’s floor-spacing. 2. Precious A...
