Looks like we also got some guy named mathias lessort. The trade of 25 and 33 I guess we got 23 a second in 2023 and this guy. Anyone have the dirt on him?
Wolves fan commiserate here!

He's getting up there in age, but he'd be almost an equivalent front-court counterpart to Rubio. He'd be a steadying vet presence that can defend, switch, get physical with some guys, and hopefully have some influence on KAT's overall disposition (which is still way too immature IMO).
I can't agree with you here, Q. And I didn't agree with Darren Wolfson on Twitter either. While P.J. Tucker certainly helps this team in certain areas, I see zero logical reason to use assets on a soon-to-be 36-year old mediocre role player who has one year left on his deal. It just doesn't make any sense from my point of view. The Wolves would be better suited to pursue an option that could contribute a lot more and for much longer.
The thought of acquiring Tucker gives me awful flashbacks of Flip Saunders wasting an asset in 26-year old Thaddeus Young for a whopping five regular season games of 38-year old Kevin Garnett who was set to be a free agent after that season. While Young wasn't anything special he certainly had more value than that, and of course he was moved a year later by the Brooklyn Nets for a first-round pick that ended up being Caris LeVert.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is another one.
The reality is that the market for role-playing 4s isn't super expensive at the moment. We should be able to find a quality vet to put next to KAT for 25 MPG or so, whether its through a minor trade or using the MLE.
Tucker, Bjelica, RHJ, Portis, J. Green, Favors, Crowder....

Maybe Rosas had this in mind?
