If the Wolves leave the offseason with Kyle Anderson and Myles Turner, that’s, like, pretty perfect – 1:26 AM Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
Grizzlies re-signing Tyus Jones (two years, $30M), losing Kyle Anderson (two years, $18M) to Timberwolves nba.nbcsports.com/2022/06/30/gri… – 10:50 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
If the Wolves structure Kyle Anderson’s 2-year, $18 million deal as $8.8M in 22-23, $9.2M in 23-24, then they’d still have close to $1.7M of the MLE left
That could be used to sign a player for $1.7M (slightly above the minimum) or could use it to sign Josh Minott to an NBA deal – 10:07 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Wolves cap sheet after the Kyle Anderson signing.
– Roster is full at 15 (need to trade to add)
– Currently $8.8M below the tax (could add $ in trades)
– $28M below the cap for next offseason, but can still get to max space fairly easily (Beasley option, Prince non-guarantee) pic.twitter.com/sbbxvpa1BP – 9:46 PM Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Really like the Kyle Anderson fit for the Wolves. Experienced, poised and versatile. Winning player – 9:31 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Will tweet out some Kyle Anderson clips once I eat this burrito – 9:00 PM Chris Vernon @ChrisVernonShow

Guessing the Wolves left enough of the Non-Taxpayer MLE after signing Kyle Anderson to give Josh Minott a contract longer than the two years allowed by the Minimum Exception. – 8:44 PM Jay King @ByJayKing
I like Kyle Anderson in Minnesota so much. – 8:41 PM Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
Free agent Kyle Anderson has agreed to a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources tell ESPN. – 8:40 PM Ryan McDonald @ryanwmcdonald
Gary Harris? Delon Wright? Derrick Jones Jr.? A couple others who might be out of the Jazz’s price range like Bruce Brown? Kyle Anderson? Otto Porter Jr.? – 7:27 PM Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Among PFs, Portis, Ingles, Thaddeus Young, Chris Boucher off the board… Warren, O. Porter, Kyle Anderson among those remaining in free agency… And Heat, of course, is pursuing Durant trade, as are many teams… There was nothing percolating on trade for Crowder earlier today – 6:36 PM
