Yeah, that is a questionable one. I can't see any other team paying that.

Some of these guys are gonna be like this where Miami doesn't have cap space due to their massive cap holds so they are just bringing guys back from last year. They actually save money on the cap getting Dragic and Leonard to sign these deals because they are for significantly less than their cap holds.

Josh Jackson to the Pistons

The 2 year deals are questionable. Dragic is worth it there, he means a lot to them. Leonard I really don't get. Does it hamper their ability to chase Giannis next year?

Gallonari 3 year/61.5 million (20.5 million a year)

There goes him wanting to play for a winner over money

Dwight Howard to the 76ers 1 year deal

Rodney Hood 2 yr/ 21 mil (10.5 mil a year) back with the Blazers.

Beasley is going to get paid

Second year non guaranteed. But yeah it's looking like Beasley might get a big number

In my view, the Wolves best free agent option is Christian Wood. The question There are only two teams who have enough cap room to offer more than the MLS - Charlotte and New York. I don't see the Knicks making him an offer since their front court is already pretty crowded and I think they'll be saving their cap space for bigger fish next year. Wood seems like a perfect fit for Charlotte and I would think they'd make him an offer above the MLE level. Otherwise, it's really up to Detroit and whether they want to use their Bird rights to bring him back at an amount over the MLE.

If I were Rosas, I'd offer Wood the full MLE for the max number of years and see if Detroit matches. Otherwise, here are the free agents I'd consider, understanding the some of these would not appeal to Rosas and others are not realistic options at the MLE level):

Hassan Whiteside
Serge Ibaka*
Tristin Thompson (Long shot)
Jae Crowder
Montrezl Harrell (Not realistic)
Frank Kaminsky
Alex Len
Jacob Poeltl
Dario Sari (Phoenix might match, but is he worth MLE?)
Rondeau Hollis-Jefferson
Willie Cayley-Stein
Harry Giles
Nerlens Noel
Derrick Jones Jr. (Long shot. Miami likely to keep him. Is he worth MLE?)
DerMarre Carroll
Jeff Green
Jerian Grant (Not realistic)

I've identified in parenthesis the FAs who are not realistic targets for the Wolves or are at least major long shots. Otherwise, I think the others are all realistic possibilities at the full MLE or less. Some bring more size or defense while others are more in line with the stretch big and outside shooting Rosas seems too prefer.

Of all the realistic alternatives, I would think that Kaminsky might be the one Rosas would prefer because of his perimeter shooting. On the other hand, knowing Rosas, he's focused on his guy H-Gomez. But I need to stop trying to get inside Gersson's head.

Wood is already on his way to Houston.
