Are we done making moves?

[shrink]

Shrink was only asking if a change is needed. There are some teams out there with as many as 18 contracts at least partially guaranteed. We only have 15. In terms of guaranteed money, no move is necessary. It may be possible, but it's not a necessity because the rest of the guys past the 15 are on two-ways or Exhibit 10s.

Klomp gets me.

He knows I have no interest in players, just in salaries.

Are you that freaking young. You seem wise enough to be in your 50s or more.

I'm 63 and can't retire yet. You've been retired as a mod for a couple years now.

And you’ll always be two months ahead of me! The bygone revprodeji, Devilzsidewalk era.

Wow it wasn't a trade?!

The more I think about what holes need to be filled in the roster, the more I convince myself that the Wolves are going to need to add a depth center that can be competent in a drop coverage defensive scheme. When Gobert is available, the team seems likely to play a form of drop coverage 60+% of the time. Unfortunately, when Rudy misses time there is no other center on the roster that has shown even moderate success while playing drop coverage. Having a non-rotation center when can fill in for 15-20 minutes on nights when Gobert is out could be key to consistent defensive success. I think that means that the team needs to move Naz sooner rather than later.

Or perhaps it means we won't live in drop the entirety of every game...

Whiteside was pretty decent as Gobert's backup in Utah last season, still unsigned

I had the same thought. Issues are limited play time and attitude. Upside is he is cheap and reasonably good at what Gobert does.

Somebody like that makes a lot of sense since I can see the Wolves still needing to play drop coverage even when Rudy is out. I think playing high wall will still work well for the Wolves, but it would really help to still be able to successfully play the team's primary defense (drop coverage) when Rudy is unavailable.

Seems like Whiteside has been a good soldier, ok being backup, for a few years now

Did have an attitude like 5-6 years ago but he probably recognizes the NBA landscape and that he’s lucky to still be getting paychecks when so many other traditional centers are out of league

Rivers justifying WFL despising him.

Not despise, despise is the wrong word. I just want PJ Dozier instead.

That was his second post. It was a trade to generate a $1.2m trade exception by moving Bracey Wright. Miss Devilzsidewalk as he was funny. Revprodeji, i appreciated him moderating, but felt like every 2 months he put up a who’s your favorite mod poll. Since KGDaBomb is elder statesmen can I be junior statesmen? I remember when we drafted Sharon Mills over VanExel and the FO narrative was Mills is short for a PF like Barkley was. That makes me old enough and also in need of therapy.

Are you a NBA “groupie”?

Your most memorable post, though, used to be one I was rocking as a signature. That post was made when in one season we had Big Al as our best player and our record was like 1-19.

It went something like "Part of the reason our record is so bad is because we can't play ourselves". That comment almost killed me.

[Klomp]

A thought...

Keep PJ Dozier on Exhibit 10 until January, let him rehab. At that time, could waive Rivers (fully guarantees on 1/10).
