If nothing else he'd be a great backup PF / much more capable robbie hummel but I think he will actually fit in well with this wolves team. We'll want to run and push the pace and that will create opportunities (for everyone of course) and Bjelica looks to be athletic enough to take advantage of some open space.

Still question if he can hold up on the defensive end but definitely think he's immediately better than Bennett or Payne all around so he makes us better and at th end of the day that's the bottom line.


He just has to not suck at defense. We'll eventually have plus defenders at PG, SF, and C so the other guys just need to hold it together.

Bjelica's trade value probably goes up once he signs. It's a smart move whether he ever suits up here or not.

It depends what you're trying to trade him for probably. You lose some flexibility once he's signed. And I wonder what the rules are in terms of a waiting period.

Finally. We added 3 rookies that are willing passers. Hopefully exploits this and rev up the ball movement

I'm so excited about this. Let's get it done Flip. Then we have another piece of the puzzle or a trade piece with more exact value. For what it's worth, I hope he dons a wolves jersey this year.

Unless he turns out to be a complete bust that's a bargain of a deal.

With the new cap, that is a tiny contract.

Fair enough, although the length of the contract would suck in the event of him becoming a bust.

12/3 if it's true is a very good deal.
