Is there any reason why Randle would prefer sign-and-trade instead of simply declining his PO option and signing with another team?

What teams will have the cap space to outright sign him?

Yeah I think that explains the reason. It would be to get to a specific team, and determining what mechanic gets it done the easiest.

Just saw on hoopshype that Bones Hyland is getting waived. I personally don’t want him, but I know some of you did/do. If we were to try and add multiple players (convert Clark, sign a backup big, and get Hyland,) that would involve waiving Jingles and Garza and then signing Hyland and big while using spot 15 on the conversion. Depending on who wins and how willing they are to burn money I put the chances between 0 and 1/10 of 1%.

Seems Bones Hyland is free...TC has a link with him (DEN). What about him??

No thanks wolves barely have playing time for the rookie guards. Wolves need a center that is better than Garza instead.

Bones Hyland is basically Rob Dillingham which development went in wrong direction.

That's my big fear.

I think I'd rather move Clark to a regular contract.

It’s not even close. Clark is already a much better player than Bones.

3 things.

1. It is not one or the other. If we had serious designs on Bones we could sign him, waive Jingles, and convert Clark.

2. IMO the Wolves team Hyland is best suited for is the Iowa Wolves. His defense is substandard, his offense is inconsistent, and his attitude is questionable. I don’t think he has NBA upside, and even if he does I don’t think he is gonna develop it in the NBA. It will develop in the G, in Europe, or in Asia.

3. This is his fourth year, which means he is still two way eligible. If we convert Clark, then we could sign Hyland to a two way and give him a test run. That said it would likely come at the expense of Dilly getting minutes.

Obviously we can do both. But I don't see the upside. We'd be adding a guy who apparently our GM is a big fan of at our most stacked position. If he gets any minutes, its at the expense of a better option.

And I doubt he's signing here to be a 2-way or G League player. Some team will likely give him a chance to prove himself on a roster.

He had two and failed. He is not two way eligible after this year, and teams were trading to cut cost. The most likely result is a two way.

Yes, he failed on 2 playoff teams. I'd imagine a lottery level team will be happy to take a chance on him for the minimum.

It will be interesting to see whole timeline when decision have to be made this summer.

I never thought I’d say it, but if we weren’t over the second apron, Ben Simmons might have helped as a back up center who can playmake. Yikes!

Over the first apron!

If Chris Paul gets bought out, do we take a run at him?
