2024 Offseason Primer

[Laimbeer40]

MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES

The Story: Outside of an outlier 2021 season, this team has trended downward each season and now they have finally hit rock bottom.

The Picks: 1.1, 2.1, 2.27

Projected Roster

PG Tyus Jones $4.8m (His Assist to TO ratio is top notch. Solid starter)
SG Rookie 1.1 (Should cost in the $7m range. Might be better to trade the pick)
SF Free Agent
PF Taylor Hendricks $4.3m (Hoping for a leap in year 2. Rebounded well in his starts)
C Karl-Anthony Towns $18m-ish (Solid extension price for their franchise player)
BE PG Scoot Henderson $7.6m (Really rough rookie season but rookie PG's often struggle)
BE PG Dyson Daniels $4.1m (Better defender than scorer can be a STL specialist)
BE SG Andre Jackson $0.8m (Got playing time on a strong MIL team but might not be the best fantasy guy)
BE PF/C Isaiah Jackson $3.4m (Hope he goes to a situation where he gets more minutes. Can be a blocks machine)
BE PF Aleksander Vezenkov $4.0m (May not ever get enough minutes in SAC. Gambling on Euro FA's hasn't gone well lately)
BE Rookie 2.1 (Like this value at $0.8m)
BE Free Agent

Kira Lewis probably goes unsigned in RFA, Romeo Langford should have been bought out, Reggie Bullock  likelynot extended

Cap: After signing rookies and KAT, you are looking at about $24m if you want to splurge in FA

Outlook: A team with 25 wins made the playoffs in the West. There is more than enough here to easily make the playoffs in the West. Really cannot miss on Pick 1.1 though.
