@dortnoktaiki @Camden_Cash No they have room for two minimum contracts and have enough leftover for a 0 year player minimum which also could more likely be used on a prorated minimum contract for a buyout player like we did with Anderson last year.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@Camden_Cash @dortnoktaiki I don't know why they wouldn't? Do you think you can get a starter for Josh Green that will keep the defense and shooting top notch? Probably not. A free Agent SF and/or PF will probably slip to a minimum contract. Plus we still have money for the 15th spot a rookie or buyout.

@seger77729444 @happyjoelucky @TwolvesBlog As constructed Green has a very good chance to start for us. High end shooting and elite POA defense. The reason people liked D. White should be the same reason they like Green as it will allow McDaniels the opportunity to float and utilize his elite weak side help instincts.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@happyjoelucky @TwolvesBlog Maybe, but Ball, Edwards, Green, McDaniels and Gobert is a top 5ish defense with great shooting 1 through 4. I don't think there is any urgency to find a PF that doesn't improve on that lineup. Stretching Green would be reckless because it would probably cost the full MLE in 2027

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@JakeBru3 @TimGarrisonMN I don't really like either of those contracts especially Washington's and I don't think it is better than Ball, Edwards, Green, McDaniels and Gobert. That should be a top 5 defense with shooting from 1-4. I actually think this makes us worse.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@allthingsmn They have one. There should be a PF, other than Kyle Anderson who will slip into a minimum contract and that will round out our roster depending on who it is.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@TimGarrisonMN I like this (sans Collins). I have tinkered to find such a deal and it ain't easy. I wish us luck.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@DaneMooreNBA Dane, I do believe the 15th spot could be filled with a rookie minimum, although that is unlikely and it is probably saved to offer a prorated contract to a buyout candidate later in the year as they did with Anderson.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@TimGarrisonMN @AdrianDipshit Kyle could make sense, but I think there will be a SF/PF who slips into the minimum and with Ball, Bones, Ayo and Shannon you probably can't afford to sign mike if you really want to win regardless of his value in the locker room. Of course I could be wrong and no one slips.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@TrellInterlude I think Green starts and isn't traded in this situation, but if he was Ayo is starting over Clark, Shannon is starting over Clark. Clark is an after thought who won't get much burn and he certainly needs to demonstrate consistency on his shot to even have a chance.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@EvanporterNBA Green is more of a SF.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@TimGarrisonMN @AdrianDipshit It would probably cost having access to the full MLE next year which makes these pipe dreams of stretching a player unrealistic. Josh Green is a very nice player, who is an excellent fit for the team, to the point he probably has a good chance to start as we are presently built.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@King_GT22 @JonKrawczynski Minnesota is a larger market than Miami and Cleveland...

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@EvanporterNBA I think Green is more of a SF.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@DietBeginsMon @ccfcpaddy 6 foot 6 SFs:

Jimmy Butler
Mikal Bridges
Keldon Johnson:
Jaylen Brown
RJ Barrett

That is just a quick search.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@DietBeginsMon @ccfcpaddy What does a SF play like? What size is a SF? All arbitrary. SF are typically players that don't dribble well enough to be the secondary ball-handler, but have enough carryover in skills. 6-6 is plenty of size probably an inch short of prototypical.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@WolvesWired Still only counts as $2,444,612 against the cap, equivalent to a minimum salary at two years of service. We have enough room for two minimum contracts regardless of how long they have been in the NBA and a rookie minimum with zero years of service if we want to fill all 15 spots.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@RuggedBambino Meh, you play what you defend, so Ayo is likely a SG.

[SO_MONEY @SO__MONEY]

@TheHoopCentral @MarcJSpears Which is what you say when nobody wants him.
