2017 NBA Off-Season

Can the Wolves afford Reddick + Lowry?

I haven't seen any JJ to MN rumors, but they need shooting. Would really help with spacing to have Reddick. He doesn't really fit all that well though unless they roll out a small lineup

 

[Paulius]

Think JJ for 16-18M would be a waste bc he wouldnt even start, and the small ball line up is way too small to have wiggins or jimmy at the 4 but it would be possible

Either way dont think theyd have money to afford both

 

[Paulius]

But i agree, they desperately will need shooting to spread the floor

 

[Paulius]

Also BNC, fit wise teague > lowry anyway

Lowry pounds the ball too much, and wolves already have too much of that as it is. Teague fits better, or Hill

 

[buzzy]

If they need shooting like you said, Lowry is the better fit though. 

 

[Paulius]

If they can get lowry to play the regular season games and then teague/hill in the playoffs then sure

It seems like Minny got about 30 mil in space now

It seems like Minny got about 30 mil in space now

Thats if someone picks up Nikolas waiver

 

[Paulius]

Or they can buy him out which theyll prolly do

 

[Paulius]

Maaan lowkey kinda want taj and rose to take an MLE and BAE and join em for the year just for thibs and to make a playoff push but these money hungry niggas would never do that

 

[JZsportswhiz]

Rose doesn't make sense for Minnesota . He can't shoot and he can't stay healthy. Those are the 2 things they need
 
Taj would be a great get for pretty much any team. What is his projected contract?

Wolves should make Lowry their #1 target and then go after a shooter or size

 

[Paulius]

Rose would be a force off the bench tho, cant knock that

Taj is a perfect fit everywhere, what a guy

Id assume he'd want around 12-18M a year

 

[buzzy]

Pekovic is included in that
 

 

[Paulius]

So - rubio and prolly nikola and thats 25 mill + 14 to 99M soft cap

They in a solid position, not sure if nikola can be bought out tho but if someone claimed him thatd be clutch af

Either way 28ish mill with nikola not bad

 

[Paulius]

Only problem is that wiggins is gonna be due for a new contract next summer so they gotta be careful. Good thing they can go over the soft cap tho with birds

Then in two summers kat will want an extension so theyll need room for that too

Interesting situation, signing lowry/teague/hill for a 2-3 year would be ideal but they wont take that prolly

 

[Paulius]

Damn Lavine is expiring smh wonder what we gonna lay out for him

 

[Paulius]

Actually thinking about it more, wolves shouldnt have done this

Rubios a nice ass fit with the wolves and hes cheap. That woulda gave them flexibility to sign taj or some other PF. Dont always need just big stars and trash around em. Wiggins butler kat already a dope ass big three so only needed some pieces around em. Rubio was fine, does what the team needs. Now if they sign another max, they got no room for flexibility at all, especially once wiggins towns are due for new contracts
