Re: what bigs interest you?
He may, or he may not. The real stupidity is a team that is cruising to a winning percentage under 30% acquiring a former first round pick like Spellman with a "usable" skillset and then just banishing him. It might have been a different story if his contract was expiring at the end of the season. But GSW had picked up his 3rd year option so he had a guaranteed deal for 2020-21.
So, the correct thing to do was put him on the court. Give him minutes. With Golden St he average 18 minutes a game, 15.0 points and 8.9 rebounds/36 and shot 39.1% from 3. He is a career 36.6% 3 point shooter on 5.1 3-attempts/36 (those are better shooting percentages thatn Hernangomez) . I don't give a shit if he is "pouting". That guy goes on the court and you see if he can duplicate those results. I would even argue that you put Spellman in the starting role with Hernangomez coming off the bench.
Then you find out. Does the guy put up or shut up? If he puts up, you might think about keeping him in 2020-21 and find a role for him. Or, you might improve his trade value to a team looking for a stretch-4/5 guy off the bench or to develop. The place you develop the value of your assets IS ON THE NBA COURT IN REAL NBA GAMES. If he shuts up, then you know he can't play. You try to dump his contract in some deal and failing that ( FAIL is the middle name of the Minnesota Timberwolves) you just put him back in Iowa, say no to his 2021 option and move on.

McDaniels is a 3. Not that the Wolves would know that.
Spellman is good and on the team. Not that the Wolves would know that.
PF is a position used in basketball. You know the rest.

And Spellman is a moron to be upset about being traded. He was traded from a team that he probably had zero future with once they stopped tanking, to a team he could have worked hard, got even more time on the court, and made himself a NBA future in which his next contract could have been 8 figures a year. Not saying he was going to, just that was the opportunity he threw away by pouting.
And even if he was a bitch to Rosas, you still put the guy on the court and see what you have.

Two options..John Collins would be nice.but not giving up Culver and a future first unless we know he signs here.
But a rubio-russell-edwards-collins-towns lineup would be fun to watch..with beasely and okogie still there as well.
Make the pick to the warriors worth a bit less

And Collins isn’t a great fit with Towns. He’s not good defensively. So that would be two bad defensive bigs you’re paying big money to(future). And bigs greatest value in today’s NBA is their defensive ability, unless they’re elite offensive players like KAT, Jokic, or Embiid. Collins isn’t.swenjj wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 3:21 pm https://dunkingwithwolves.com/2020/11/2 ... r-forward/

Well the Hawks also have okongwu..that would be great.but I think we will have what we have now.

I really want to have the Spellman situation covered. Anyone able to do some undercover reporting? We need that Mike guy who fooled TSpence.
If this guy can play AND there is a chance that this situation can be resolved, voila.

Does any local sports media jack each other off more than ours does by the way? Every time there is some story they all rally together on twitter to talk about how awesome it was and how that’s what journalists are for! It’s just hilarious.
