Really interested to see what Minnesota does moving forward. You can make the case outside of the Gobert trade that they have made really solid moves all the way around.
But they are looking for max/near max long term commitments for Edwards, Kat and Gobert.
McDaniels is next and he is a 20-25 million guy probably. He is eligible to be extended so maybe you can him a tad lower now, but if you wait he is going to have a lot of suitors…even as an RFA.
This year they have Conley at 24 who will be a free agent after the season. Naz Reid signed for 12/13 million per year. Kyle Anderson and Monte Morris are in the final years at around 10 million per year.
There has been a lot of talk about a Kat trade, but will they ever get true value/cap relief back from him. The reports are they want to run it back and that is probably a good idea. But another year of Gobert disappointing and he may be really, really hard to move. Plus, is there enough time for Gobert, KAT and Reid getting at least 25 minutes a night?
They are a team sort of in a weird spot. Good youngsters with a star, a team that really needs to compete and have success in the playoffs, and a team with some really high paid players.
