Things really are looking great from a chemistry stand point. I was really let down by our togetherness the last couple of seasons, this right here is pretty much everything I asked for. If we had Russell and people saw this they would probably be talking playoffs for us,

Don't worry, we'll still be able to see him plenty in our system. He and Wigginton were both on Exhibit 10 deals (and now Battle and Brown too). This article below is a couple years old, but the basic premise still holds.

There are 50 players who have signed a contract with the Exhibit 10, a new type of deal in the most recent collective bargaining agreement (CBA).

A player who is signed to a contract with an Exhibit 10 will receive a bonus up to $50,000 if he signs a contract with the team's G League affiliate upon being waived from the parent club.

However, there is a catch. A player waived by Oct. 17 must report to his G League affiliate by Oct. 20 and remain there for at least 60 days to receive the bonus (in addition to the G League salary). Unlike last season, when a team would incur a salary-cap hit for players with partially guaranteed money who were eventually waived at the end of training camp, an NBA team will not have a cap charge for the bonus money awarded.

A player signed with an Exhibit 10 can also be converted to a two-way contract by the first day of the regular season. The bonus would then be rescinded and the two-way contract would apply.

That basically means it's 99.99% likely that we'll see those guys all in Iowa on the Wolves.
