Together, these moves help fortify the foundation with an improved supporting cast. Outside of the Dunn move, none are sexy. But together, these are the kinds of moves that could keep us afloat in the event of injuries to key guys as opposed to having the season collapse like a house of cards just because one or two guys get hurt for a stretch.

I think we've done what we've needed to compete without blocking our young guys from developing. Been a boring, but solid offseason.

TRKO, well said and agree completely. We've improved without blocking the development of the young core. Extremely important in my view.

I agree.

Never say never. I hear the NBA is working with correctional facilities around the country on helping inmates re-integrate into society effectively. Jeff Adrien is #1 on my Work Release Program mock draft board, yeah baby!

I would love to compare top 10's with you. I think mine would beat the Nets.

CanisHoopus has a writeup on Hill, and note they found that he was charged with felony domestic violence fours years ago.

So, the Wolves signed three former lottery picks who have all had some degree of success in their careers as backups...and we got them at a price that looks more like 2014 than 2016. I would call that a very good off-season.
