Trade Deadline Thoughts on DLo, Naz and Nowell
Feb 08, 2023•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
On today’s show, Dane takes a final look at the three Wolves players whose names have been most floating around the trade deadline rumor mill, in D’Angelo Russell, Naz Reid and Jaylen Nowell. Dane takes a look at what the future for those three players might look like from not only a trade standpoint but also from the standpoint of a potential contract extension.
— Does keeping Nowell on the team and in the rotation make more sense now that he no longer needs to play point guard?
— Nowell talks at shootaround about how playing point guard this season has been difficult and about the perspective he’s bringing into the trade deadline and free agency this summer
— Why a Naz Reid contract extension is contingent upon what goes down at the deadline from a salary cap standpoint
— A hypothetical D’Angelo Russell trade that (potentially!) could bring an asset back to Minnesota while also preserving the DLo salary slot
