[Sid Hartman]

Ish. Hand this loser i deal like this.

This should really work well for this franchise.

[Beef Supreme]

That’s not bad money for a guy with his skill, assuming last spring wasn’t a mirage.


But he needs to hit the apology tour and do something to atone for his actions. Tough guy to root for right now.

Thought we'd get him a little cheaper.

PG: D'Angelo Russell
SG: Malik Beasley
SF: Anthony Edwards
PF: TBD
C: Karl Anthony-towns

RT @JonKrawczynski: Reporting with @ShamsCharania: The Beasley contract is a 3 +1: team option for the final year.

[Corre Ricky Corre]

Wow... Did not expect that much money but he is a good player... hopefully he can get his head right.

[Sid Hartman]

RT @DaneMooreNBA: This leaves the Timberwolves $8.9M below the luxury tax line.

That means Juancho Hernangomez or the MLE. Not both (unless other contracts are dumped elsewhere).

This... I think it pretty much means he will start. Need to find a better PF with size... Don't know how with our cap situation.

[Style]

Terrible.

[j2j]

Well, never mind... lol

Probably seals the deal on making any meaningful improvement at PF.

It’s likely Jauncho as I heard his agent is actually in Minneapolis to negotiate

Rosas loves to wheel and deal. Is there enough minutes for Okogie and Culver? Maybe working on a trade?

The music is about to stop and one of those two will not have a chair.

I said it in another thread joking, but if we don't make a trade for a PF, why not roll with..

Ricky
DLo
Beasley
Edwards
KAT

Edwards is 6-6, 230, only 5 lbs lighter than Jae Crowder. Not ideal, but make other teams match up with us..

[shoteh]

Wow, but yup.

15 a year would have been great before the incident but now after drafting Edwards, trading for Rubio, aaaaannndddd the whole gun/drug ordeal I am disappointed in the Wolves.

[irishman89]

Rubio, Okogie, and Edwards off the bench will be killer.

[digitalwolf]

I didn't think he'd get his full 15 after his incident. But it tells us two things, we clearly are not worried about the legal troubles and we value a sharp shooter in the lineup....and I fully agree. Losing him, at least now, will significantly reduce our firepower, even if it were at 10 million and he was off the bench. Interested to see what we do for PF, but I love the fact that we retained him.

I'll be shocked if Beasley isn't starting at SG and Edwards at SF.

Yeah, before the incident I would've been happy with 15/yr. I am going to trust the Wolves who should have all of the information.

This is bad. Very bad.

Why?

[SKOLMN]

A lot of money, but he’s a solid player in our system. Wonder if he starts

[somuchyummy]

yep. just like we thought. that domestic thing of his - turned into a blessing for us. got him for pennies on the dollar.

Prepare to be shocked. Rook will come off the bench to begin. He'll dominate the oppositions' twos. Culver will start at SF.

That's a lot of weed money.
