I believe he's on his rookie contract still which is why it's so little.

He stayed overseas long enough that he didn't sign on the rookie scale. His current contract was what Flip negotiated, I was surprised at the time at how little he got.

I think the Tyus Jones team option and qualifying offer numbers are wrong. Hoopshype has them as 2,444,052 and 3,573,204

They are. Not sure what happened there.

[PharmD]

So the trade cost us like $10M in cap space, maybe a little less.

Hurry up. I'm not paying you to do nothing.

I'm well aware!

[PharmD]

So, assuming we bring back none of the free agents and release Hill we're at $76M by my count. And that's only for 9 guys. We need a sucker to take Cole.

Right around there, yeah

The "Cap Situation" with Rubio going to Utah for OKC's Lottery Protected First Round Pick (if not delivered by 2020, then becomes OKC's 2020 and 2021 2nd Round Picks)

$33,504,327 Cap Space if renounce rights to Shabazz Muhammad
$25,888,579 cap space if make one year $4,187,599 qualifying offer to Shabazz Muhammad (gives right to match any offer).
Trade Cole Aldrich and increase both of the above cap room numbers by $7,300,000

In practical terms, the Wolves make the Qualifying Offer to Shabazz Muhammad,
negotiate with free agents, and if they have the guys (Teague + Wing) they want willing to sign,
they Withdraw the Qualifying Offer to Muhammad and use the extra cap space to sign someone in addition to Teague.

If Teague ends up with $57 million over 3 years that is like 19M of their cap space, they still have $14.5 million for another Top Free Agent plus the Room MLE of $4.328 Million

If the Wolves can't get the Wing they want they can always re-sign Shabazz Muhammad and still have about $6,888,579 of Cap Space plus the Room MLE

The Depth Chart Looks something like:
Center: Towns, Aldrich, Patton (Patton may make Aldrich expendable)
PF: Dieng, Bjelica
SF: Butler, Muhammad or Top Free Agent, Minimum Contract
SG: Wiggins, Room MLE
PG: Teague, Jones, Minimum Contract

That's 13 guys. Leaves room for G League call-ups or buyout candidates around the end of February to join team.
Butler is 6' 6" but more powerfully built than Wiggins so Butler may be more suited for SF while Wiggins may be more suited for SG.

For reference purposes, here are the Pre-Draft Measurements of the Wolves Players WITHOUT SHOES

6' 10.25" Karl Anthony Towns
6' 10" Justin Patton
No Official Measurement for Nemanja Bjelica, but seems about 6' 10"
6' 9.75" Gorgui Dieng
6' 9" Cole Aldrich
No Official Measurement for Andrew Wiggins but seems about 6' 7"
6' 6" Jimmy Butler
6' 4.75" Shabazz Muhammad (Restricted Free Agent)
6' 0.25" Jeff Teague
6' 0.25 Tyus Jones
