He has us at only 5.85 million left before signing NAW. SInce's NAW's tender is 7.07 million, just offering that would put us into the tax.
We could clear 300k by cutting Jmac and replacing him with a vet minimum.
I expect Prince to be traded or waived before Wednesday.
I think the board and Wolves fans in general have some recency bias with NAW. I don’t think he’ll cost what we all think to bring him back.
Maybe, but what was NAW supposed to do? Not play well in the playoffs and step up when someone was down?
I think you need to reward that... not with a huge contract based on him becoming a big time piece, but he proved that he could be in the rotation for this team, so they should give him a reasonable contract.
Otherwise, you lose some of the value from the DLo trade, since getting NAW seemed like an afterthought at the time, but now makes the trade look even more lopsided for the Wolves (especially if they get another guy that fits in MN without overpaying).
