Wow, that's a nice bag. I can't recall any undrafted players getting so much a year. Has there been any undrafted players who have gotten a bigger bag?

Wesley Matthews got like 70 million in mid 2010s I remember reading article that was most by I drafted guy but idk if it’s been best since then so I’m guessing this is the most then.

I haven't heard if we officially guaranteed Jordan McLaughlin. I heard one beatwriter said it was expected, but I don't think its been publically confirmed. If JMAC is guaranteed, then is free agency done for the Wolves as I think we have 15 rostered players. Anyone else confirm this. Garza and Ryan, I think are signed for two-ways. Do we have a third two-way to offer?

I think there will be some good players who will be taking a minimum salary to stay in the NBA. I was hoping we'd have a spot left to snag someone like Mo Bamba or Jaxson Hayes on a minimum deal.

Doogie said they picked it up.

So with Garza and Ryan. Teams can offer them an NBA contract but the wolves can match it (meaning a player would need to be cut). My guess is they will wait to see if Garza gets a contract, if he does the sign him to the main roster and Clark gets the 2-way, if no contract Garza gets the 2-way and Clark gets the nba contract. They do have another 2-way also though.

So for the most part I think the wolves are done.

Out: Rivers, Prince, Nowell, knight
In: Milton, Brown, Clark, Miller

We should take a step back and ask ourselves whether the Wolves are any better next season with this four-player swap. Clark won’t play because of his Achilles surgery. Miller likely won’t play because he’s a raw 19 year old. He’s a long term asset. Prince is better than Brown. Milton is MUCH better than Rivers or Nowell in my view. I don’t expect much from Troy Brown. In my view, Milton is the key. How good can he be and what will his role be?

I almost think you have to hand the second-unit keys to Milton and Kyle Anderson, no? Milton is effectively the backup PG to Conley, but Anderson will share in the play making.

That feels high for Schroeder. I mean, his numbers were no better than Shake's, right?

[TheFuture]

All signs point to Nickeil Alexander-Walker remaining in Minnesota, league sources tell @TheAthletic. Optimism all around that a deal is nearing.

With the way $ is being spent, this seems more likely. That makes me happy.

I agree, Q. Signing Milton could turn out to be another feather in TC’s cap. Like you, I see him as Conley’s backup. I want him to get a lot of minutes. Give him every chance to fail or succeed. With Milton and NAW, I don’t see much opportunity for Moore.

What is Houston's next step to be competitive? I could see them turning to Towns. They could absorb most of the salary, send some young cheaper players and have quite a few draft picks coming from Brooklyn. They even own a couple Wolves seconds I think.
