2024 Free Agency

[Shaka_Zulu]

Conley
Dillingham
NAW
ANT
Shannon
McDaniels
Minott
Towns
Reid
Ingles
Miller
Gobert
Garza

+ Edwards (2w)
+ Clarke (2w)

So we have 13 players under standard NBA contracts and two two-way. We must sign one standard contract to have minimum required 14 players. Maybe it can be a guy rehabbing after injury like Saddiq Bey, maybe McLaughlin will return. As for third two-way option I like LeDee as physical PF behind Towns, Reid and Reid.

Isnt Pj Dozier one of the guranteed contracts? And did we sign Garza to guranteed contract?

Dozier contract is non guaranteed. It looks like Garza has guaranteed contract at least for first year.

[Shaka_Zulu]

Oh ok good to know, I'm less down on the Dozier signing if its non guranteed. Even if I would prefered Burks or Wright.

Garza is like a mascot G league type to me, its weird we signed him to guranteed, a C that cant defend a lick.

Just for the record, a non-guaranteed deal still counts towards the 14-man roster minimums. If they cut Dozier during the season, the Wolves have 2 weeks to bring their roster size back up to 14. In the off-season, there is no roster minimum, and the max is 21.

Read on Twitter

Dozier is non-guaranteed minimus? Then it would be a camp invite like I thought?
Where did you read that?

I was going off this tweet from Chris Hine saying that the signing was for a roster spot.
But that was the wrong question to ask and he is a terrible, awful beat reporter who has less basketball knowledge than 9/10 of the posters here. He's almost as bad as Jerry Zgoda was.

Maybe the team doesn't want other teams to know they havent filled their last spot.
Anyone hear anything from Dane, he seems to have an in with Matt Lloyd?

Yeah, I usually skip podcasts with Chris Hine because there is no basketball analysis. It is kind of around basketball media, some stories about players, coaches etc. Might be interesting to read, just not my thing

[Nick K]

crap they gave him a guaranteed contract (and thus a roster spot).

Are they going to pay the 10 million in luxury taxes that comes with filling the 15th roster spot or are we going with a 2 way for 3rd string PG?

Has anybody checked in on Jmac?

Right! I’m very surprised that JMac wasn’t one of the three FA signings - Connelly and Finch must be all in on getting Dillingham PG minutes right away, but it feels dangerous to me to not have a vet PG on the roster in case Mike misses time.

Ingles makes sense, Luka maybe, but this must be some kind of upside play on Dozier. JMac might have been better insurance than any of them. I doubt they use slot 15, but maybe they’ll be forced.

So Jaylen Clark is on a two-way, and we get two more to name. It might take a little time, as the best players wait to see other teams start completing their roster with end of the bench guaranteed contracts.

I think J Mac wanted to go somewhere he had a chance to play. He saw the writing on the wall when we drafted Dilly. Plus, TC wanted more flexibility to make FA moves.

I guess it was even before Dilly draft

What does Milwaukee have that we don't. Delon Wright and Taurean Prince both signed with them. I bet we were interested.

Minutes and role.

So as far as you can see both of them will clearly get more run with the Bucks than we could have offered. I will take your word for it. Thanks.

My personal opinion, yes.

I think going into the offseason, 7 spots were set for a team that typically runs an 8.5-man rotation (0.5 meaning the player will get minutes in the first half, but maybe not in the second half). I think Dillingham was clearly brought in to be the 8th man this year. The 0.5 will probably be Ingles to start the year, unless one of Shannon, Minott, Miller, Dozier beats him out.

Shannon was IMO a legit player of the year candidate before the nonsense happened. I expect him to get some run.

[Klomp]

Something these two should both bring immediately to the rotation is floor spacing. We know Gobert is in the paint, and often Towns wants to be too. Then outside we had an unwilling shooter in Anderson, McDaniels who doesn't like to pull the trigger, Morris who would rather pump and settle into the midrange, etc. Conley was our best, but he was often needed to initiate things.

Joe Ingles is an elite 3-point shooter. Rob Dillingham certainly has that potential too, making 48% of catch-and-shoot 3s. Shannon also hit 39% of corner 3s in his college career.

[jpatrick]

I don’t think he comes here because I don’t see playing time but has there been any news on Fournier since the Pistons didn’t pick up his option?

So, I assume TC will keep 15th roster spot open. Unless someone like Gordon Hayward or Saddiq Bey agrees to sign for vetmin.

[Norseman79]

So we have the 15th roster spot and 1 more 2-way correct? Guessing neither will be filled until after summer league at least, likely training camp, unless a surprise drops.

Saddiq Bey is with Hawks and will be out injured rest of the year.


But even if he is washed, Hayward on minimum would be big get. And completion of our Utah Jazz pack lol

[Pokuokic]

How does PJ get a contract after a below average season in Partizan , didn't show anything in terms of a elite skill and just had low IQ and could not replicate/replace what Exum did the season before. Waste of a spot imo.

Hmmm, I thought Bey is UFA... Hayward ego scares me, I want a 9-10th player in rotation to be low profile, high impact player
