Last roster spots

Post by Monster »

Ok we know that Conley is gonna come back and get one of these spots but Connelly said that we might see some familiar faces...who else could that mean? If we get Kyle Anderson back that would be awesome but is Memphis gonna cut him loose? He started against Portland. Lol

Who would you like to see signed to that 15th spot? I'd like to see a frontcourt player it seems like someone actually capable of playing either C or PF in the playoffs would be smart as another option or if there was an injury.

Malik Beasley? Charlie Brown Jr? Jarrett Culver? Jesse Edwards? CJ Fulton? Taj Gibson? Alize Johnson? James Johnson? KJ Martin? Shake Milton? Monte Morris? Jaylen Nowell? Elfrid Payton? Matt Ryan?

How are those for familiar faces?

DeAngelo Russell is expected to hit the buyout market. Another familiar face :lol:

lol. Well, DLO would be a perfect fit for this “I’m not sure I feel like playing hard today” team.

Chris Paul was officially waived from Toronto. But you can cross him off your list as he has officially retired...

Somewhere over the All-Star Break is when the cost of two prorated vet minimum contracts fall within the cap space the Wolves have under the 1st apron. So, I would think Mike signs before the Wolves next game on the 20th.

The question is: what happens for that last roster spot. The most anti-climatic transaction would be converting Juzang to a standard contract. If that does not happen by the 20th, I would expect the Wolves to hold off until at least March 1st to see who shows up on the buyout market...

As mentioned previously, Kyle Anderson would be a solid addition, if he were to get bought out.

Another name to watch is Mason Plumlee. He was waived as part of all the trade deadline maneuvers. He is recovering from a groin injury and was supposed to be re-evaluated during the all-star break. Normally, I would say "why would Mason come here?" But he does have a history with TC when he played several years for Denver. He would be a solid addition for big man depth. I suspect he will have other "warmer" options from contending teams looking for big man depth.

So much for Plumlee -- the Spurs snarfed him up.

But that's okay, we are just waiting for SloMo to arrange his buyout!

As seem preordained, the Wolves have waived Johnny Juzang. He only had a game or two left of eligibility, and it didn't make much sense to convert him to a standard contract. So, not only are we monitoring the buyout market, we also looking at another two-way player.

TC specifically said "potentially some familiar faces" for the last two roster spots. I am having a hard time coming up with anyone other than SloMo. I doubt it's TJ Warren...

Are there any players in Iowa (or former Iowa Wolves) they could sign to a 2-way deal?

Edit: fwiw Josh Minott has played as many NBA minutes as Tim since arriving in Brooklyn.
