I really think the Wolves may wait until after Summer League to determine how they fill the last roster spot(s). Miller and Dillingham especially will be under the microscope since one is a big and the other is a PG and those are the two areas where we might need some outside help to fill out the roster.Phenom wrote: ↑Mon Jul 07, 2025 10:22 amI'd say bring SloMo back but not at the expense of the young guns. 4th big for sure.kekgeek wrote: ↑Mon Jul 07, 2025 10:09 amPossibly, slow mo is now on his 4th team in the last 13 months.

Love, sure
I could see Slo-Mo being held there til someone offers a 2nd rounder/expiring.

First of all let's look at this trade.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Mon Jul 07, 2025 10:49 amI really think the Wolves may wait until after Summer League to determine how they fill the last roster spot(s).

Miami gets another scorer on the perimeter which they needed. To do that all they have up was a couple bench guys. Hell of a deal for them and Powell fits there very well.
The Clippers give up a really good player in Powell but they really didn't have a typical PF and they get a pretty worthwhile one in Collins who is an expiring contract. I think Collins isn't as good as Powell but it's a trade that kinda makes sense.
Jazz gets to save money and opens up a roster spot. Remember when they were looking to be competitive? This doesn't do that.
Bringing back Anderson for the vet min would be a heck of a move. He would give the Wolves a good defender at PF and a guy that can play as a pseudo PG which is also a need. Idk if Anderson wants to come here to be a guy that maybe never plays. Idk how many options he will have but who knows maybe GS will want him back for nothing. If the Jazz have a roster space having Anderson around might be good for their young guys until they can get something for him. Maybe the same with Love although I would Guess Love is going to be more motivated to move on.
Re: Around the league offseason
Let Love finish his career where it all started?!?
(and I am only half jesting)

Re: Around the league offseason
So he is going to Memphis?
Love barely played last year but he still rebounds the heck out of the ball and is a decent high volume 3 point shooter. Some team may have interest in him as a vet depth guy that I would guess is a great teammate. He doesn't seem like a fit here since the Wolves already have offensively focused bigs.
Re: Around the league offseason
I called it James Wiseman back to the Pacers. They also picked up Huff in a low stakes trade with Memphis.
Re: Around the league offseason
Ugh! The Spurs trade for Olynyk. That guy is bopping around the league, but not landing with the Wolves. Oh well, our bigs situation is kind of settled, so I don't know that he would have had a big impact here.
Re: Around the league offseason
I really like him but he had too high of a salary to make sense for the Wolves. Wizards got a couple young players an a 2026 2nd for him so that's something.
Re: Around the league offseason
My connection to Olynyk: We met his parents and a sibling in Maui two years ago at a luau. Nice people. His mom was impressed that I knew he was the 13th pick in the 2013 draft.
