He can defend and handle the ball, but doesn't get defended by opposing team

His health must still be bad as Memphis doesn't have any $$ issues, they just don't want him, not even to give him a chance to comeback

Don't think you can commit multi-year MLE $$ for a player like that

Once MEM opted out, he would be one of my top depth targets.

Wouldn't mind him on a vet min type deal. I don't know if he has much of a market tbh with his injury concerns

I could see some cap space team doing the 1 yr with 2nd team option type thing so they can roll over their cap space or have him another year if he looks good

if he taking a vet min, would think it would be for a heavyweight team like LAL, LAC, BRK, etc

have a chance to get showcased in a role like Batum was last season

What happened to his shooting?

Granted he isn't good from the FT line (.640 for his career).

Looking at the market and the Wolves needs, here are some unrestricted free agents that I would target.

Zach Collins
Frank Ntilikina

BAE to taxpayer MLE tier ($4-6M/year)
Otto Porter

Robin Lopez

Non-taxpayer MLE tier ($9.5M/year)
JaMychal Green

We've been linked to him for years. Isn't his star fading?

I'd like Otto Porter if healthy.

Yeah, I'd put Porter at the top of my free agent wish list. I think he could be a combo forward that is a pretty solid step up from Prince, Juancho, or Layman.

I think his best years and mini comeback came when he was a high usage player who was initiating offense. IIRC him getting point forward minutes was what made him look worthy of his pick for a brief time. I liked him coming out of college but think he needed minutes and role that most teams aren’t going to look at him for.
