Damn, crazy.
How do the penalties start stacking if they go over the apron into next season again, since they're over the 1st this season.
I have to think they're gonna try a bit of reset after this season

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Norchad Omier have agreed to a two-way deal, league sources told @hoopshype
. Omier averaged 18.3 points on 59.2% shooting from the field, 11.4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in the G League last season.

I haven't seen Johnny K or anyone mention it, not sure if who we took a two way deal away from maybe Freeman?

Interesting. I've never heard of him, but he averaged 15 rebounds per game in his 5 years in college. Also made 75% of his free throws, so not a bad shooter.

You weren’t paying attention in preseason, because he was on our roster and did play some minutes.

I see Freeman had an injury, so the Wolves waived him and signed Omier. He could help on the boards, but it means we are hurting if he is seeing the court! After watching Freeman this past year, I like this move.

I thought he looked terrible in pre-season (along with Freeman). May be he does OK in the G-League, but absolutely does not look like an NBA player IMO. Seems like a waste, just like Freeman was a waste.

Pullin at this point is sort of stuck in purgatory. Probably too good for the G-League but not quite enough juice to make an NBA rotation.

Rocco looked like he made zero progress from last season based on his summer league and pre-season, but we shall see.

I am looking forward to seeing if Isaiah Evans can get things straightened out in Iowa. That's where he belongs.

Never mind! Omier changed his mind and will sign a 2-way with Cleveland. We know have 2 open spots.

Not that it matters now but IMO Omier looked better than Freeman in preseason and no neither of them were very good. He looked like a guy that could come in and be a reasonably physical undersized PF. He has good SL numbers and his G-league numbers were pretty good last year. I'm surprised that they haven't been able to find someone more intriguing than either guy especially with the relative lack of frontcourt depth in terms of actual bigs on the Wolves roster.
