Honestly, it depends on the money.

I'd hope Prince is making more than Brown. I don't think Brown is that good, tbh. I haven't seen much of him though. Seems like he can at least handle, shoot and play defense.


Hope so too, and I hope Minott makes a huge jump and takes Prince’s minutes.

Honestly would have preferred going this route. My guess is that Chicago offered an opportunity to get a starting role.

Im fine with it I think Carter is overrated because he played for the Bucks. He’s been a complete non factor in the playoffs also.

Well, I was hoping for Javon.

I hope we don’t bring back PatBev

LeVert to Cavs. 2 of our better options gone now.

He’s not THAT good.I think Connelly prefers guards with size.

I think he started for the Lakers a bunch.

He’s got some serious range.

Yeah didn't see he shot around 38% on almost 4 attempts a game. Still only 23 as well.

He would have been a huge improvement at backup PG.

How do you know that?

Couldn’t Carter have chosen Chicago over us?

Chicago has only Caruso at PG. There’s more opportunity there.

I am guessing NAW is the backup PG especially if paired with Brown Jr. both can handle and brown will take care of the ball. Besides, Anderson runs a ton of point with 2nd group

I don't know why Dane makes these kinds of leaps. I think it is relatively unlikely that these two players are going to combine for $14.5MM this season.

Did you see him against Miami in the first round of playoffs? He was horrible.

Dang, he started 45 games for the Lakers last year.

I’m surprised I don’t know him better. He wasn’t highly ranked in free agency.

I don't know that, but the Wolves IMO have a much better team than the Bulls and if they had offered a million more a year to Carter than Chicago my best guess is he would have taken it.

I don't see how this math could possibly add up. It makes no sense.
