Wendell brought negative value to the trade. [:o]

By replacing Wendell Moore Jr.'s $2.537M contract with a veteran minimum contract ($2.1M), the Wolves will save about $450k in salary -- which will also save them a couple million in luxury tax payments dependent on how far above the tax they finish the season out at.

But if they replace him with the No. 53 pick and sign that rookie to a rookie league minimum ($1.1M) they will save millions more.

This is a cost-cutting move.

@DaneMooreNBA
This is a move that makes sense now, but it was a miss about nine months ago when the Wolves chose to pick up that option in the first place.

Cam Spencer. Looks like he's a fit.

He's who we got at Pick #53. See your previous post.

I'm all in on Ulrich Chomche if he's there at 53. He's not going to be NBA ready for a couple years, but he can learn the game in Iowa.

He only played in 3 games last year (so grain of salt), but he averaged 13 PPG, 9 RPG, 3 BPG and he shot 38% on SEVEN 3PA/Game and 75% from the line.
Ulrich Chomche - NBA Academy, Cameroon

6'10.3, 7'4 wingspan, 232 pounds. 18.4 years old.


Shades of Serge Ibaka

A raw center with a massive ceiling who is the youngest prospect in this class.

PLUSES
Superb upside as an interior defender. He’s a long-armed athlete with excellent leaping ability, giving him amazing shot-blocking potential. And though he needs his frame to mature, he battles hard on post-ups.

Tremendous mobility moving laterally with the long-term potential to switch across positions and effectively defend in any pick-and-roll scheme.

Selfless big man who will set screens, roll hard, and facilitate by keeping the ball moving. He rebounds, boxes out, and runs the floor. He does what he’s asked to do in his limited role.

Flashes the ability to handle the ball in face-up situations. If he develops a jumper, his quick first step and fluidity could make him a threat on the attack.

MINUSES
Extremely raw defender who operates off instinct and covers up positional mistakes with his athleticism. To thrive at the next level, he’ll have to learn how to read situations, be in the right spot, and stay on his feet.

He’s clearly still learning the game. He sets way too many moving screens, and even as an at-rim finisher, he doesn’t try to go for dunks nearly enough for a player with his traits.

#57, which they also traded. No idea what they got in return.

The pick was traded well before we made it.

We traded it for 57 and a future 2nd round pick. Then we traded 57 for cash.

So the net result of the 2nd round was we were able to dump WMJ's contract and trade for a future 2nd rounder.

Excellent move as there wa sno chance 3 rookies were making the team and we still need all the future draft assets we can get.

Sounds like he was a bit overwhelmed.

Tim Connelly brought in Kwesi Odofo-Mensah & Derek Falvey to pick their brains on doing a multi day draft.

Falvey just told us it was his first time sitting in a draft room for another sport. Says it was wild to see how fast Tim’s brain was working during the draft.

Like how to draft pitchers? I don't know if Connelly can help with that.

I can see Falvey noting to himself, "Huh, so you should actually think and react in real time during a draft. Who knew?"

The human victory cigar. So many times this year I exclaimed "It's Garza time!"

The thing is though, he's a HOF trash time player. He's stuck in a weird purgatory of having too many limitations to be a regular rotation heavy minute guy, but clearly the most talented, competent end of the bench guy.

Sounds like a lot of nothing. We're just a team added on to help create a bidding war:

“In addition to Golden State, Sacramento and San Antonio have been the two other teams characterized by league figures with knowledge of the situation as strong possible suitors for Markkanen at this point. For the Kings to land Markkanen, NBA personnel believe the Jazz would require Sacramento to part with Keegan Murray, and that might leave other trade options like Brandon Ingram as a more palatable outcome for the Kings. Minnesota has shown interest in Markkanen as well, sources said. Philadelphia never appeared to place real attention on Markkanen throughout the Sixers’ long approach of finding a third star to slot between Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.”

Anderson and Monte exits no surprise. I appreciate Anderson’s contributions but we can do better with his roster spot. I didn’t mind having Monte around and would have been okay with bringing him back at the right price. A solid guy who knows what he’s doing. But Dillingham guaranteed his exit.

It’ll have to be for the veteran minimum, because that’s the only pathway we have left to add talent.




Karl Juhnke -> RE: Timbrwolves 2024 Off-Season and Draft (7/3/2024 12:31:00 AM)

Apparently the Anderson move is a sign and trade. Wolves will receive a future second round pick from GS.
