Beasley needs to go. You don't put up with what he did with a role player and you just drafted a SG #1. Edwards needs to be night one starter.

I agree. He is a good player that deserves some playing time. It's very odd what happened.Ask Not wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 3:20 pmI don't get the disconnect, either.

He's found money if he can rebound, hustle, and play some D.

After 6 years, and a max contract, I can tell Paul Pierce how Andrew Wiggins' development WENT.

Re: *** NBA News, The Athletic, ESPN+ Insiders Thread ***
it's funny how after 6 years in the league, some people - (wiggins?) - are still looked upon as kids who might develop into something. how's about we stop giving a 25 year old multimillionaire slacker so much effing slack? if he actually wanted to be any better, he'd have put the work in. not gonna happen.

Which is a pretty short cry from the last time we could get leftovers. When all those FA were signing massive $20m+ contracts, then there was a drop to about $5m a season for some decent players.
ESPN had McLaughlin as the 15th best FA....

It's gotta be a trade for a PF with Culver or Okogie, surely?
The rotation doesn't seem too bad other than the glaring PF hole. How much is the MLE?

ESPN+ Insiders - Bobby Marks - Timberwolves Off Season Map
Minnesota Timberwolves
Offseason transactions: Malik Beasley (free agent), Ricky Rubio (trade), Anthony Edwards (draft), Leandro Bolmaro (trade) and Jaden McDaniels(trade) and Ashton Hagans (PG)
What to watch: Juan Hernangomez

Available exceptions: Non-tax midlevel ($9.3 million), biannual ($3.6 million) and minimum
Room under the tax: $10 million
Dates to watch
Naz Reid ($1.5 million), Jaylen Nowell ($1.5 million) and Jarred Vanderbilt ($1.7 million) have non-guaranteed contracts. The contacts become fully guaranteed if they are not waived by February 25.
Players under contract: 14
Note: Leandro Bolmaro is not expected to play with Minnesota this season
Extension eligible: Jarred Vanderbilt
Free-agent status
Juan Hernangomez | Restricted Bird
Evan Turner | Bird
