Just gonna throw this out there. What kind of numbers does Nathan Knight need to put up in this game and the next two to get Naz Reid treatment? Given our strikeout in FA I could see it happening, maybe cutting Layman or trading Juancho as an expiring to make room, but given Knights lack of 3 point shot, the question is how good is good enough?

It really is a shame that Culver couldn’t play

Will he miss the entire Summer League?

It doesn’t seem like there is any plan of him playing.

Culver still recovering from ankle surgery he had. He's there supporting the team and his brother though

Game should start on time in an hour as I think we're the first teams to play at the arena today (there is another game starting right now but that's at the other venue)

My guess is Knight goes through the year on a two-way and Minnesota will decide whether or not to match an offer for him in RFA.

Right now, the Wolves are at 15 contracts with V8, Bolmaro and JMac signing soon. He's on a two-way until some 2-for-1 or 3-for-2 trade can be made. And even if Minnesota makes such a trade, Rosas may sign Wright instead because he's higher in the rotation.

Game starting!

Jaden playing great so far had a nice block on their center on a dunk attempt

I haven't been paying much attention but the Bulls have really juiced up their team. They added some good vets, they got a lot older, they could definitely make the playoffs.

Ball, Lavine,DeRozen,Lauri or Pat Will, Vucevic

That is a lot of offense. Will be interesting to watch.

What a scoop pass by Jaden there

Nice start from Jaden

Post #17 » by **Calinks** » Thu Aug 12, 2021 8:26 pm

I think Knight can hit the three. It's rough but by season I think it will be serviceable.

Jaden has been really good so far but I do think he's a bit limited offensively. I don't need him to be an 18PPG guy though.

I took a free trial to Fubo TV and it includes all of summer league. Expensive have to make sure I cancel before it expires in a week.

Nowell is in struggleville.

I thought it was interesting what Finch said with Dane about who they want around Towns/Edwards/Russell: Low usage, high impact. To me, that fits Jaden perfectly.
