The Official Jaden McDaniels Thread

[KGdaBom]

As far as people who follow the Timberwolves on a daily basis, Dane Moore is the guy who probably understands the salary cap/luxury tax better than anyone.

I don't buy it.

I’m reading the first year is the 23 mil and doesn’t go over 25 mil until year 3 when Gobert will already be off the books. Essentially just need to pay the tax for 2 years, or 1 if you want to deal Rudy as an expiring in summer 2025.

Good information. Thanks. No team or player option on any of the years?

From Wolfson
Was recording a chat w/ owner Glen Taylor when he dropped that deal would be done by today’s deadline. Mentioned how they got Jaden side to come down. That being said, seems like a very fair deal, especially after Vassell signed. Glen mentioned Vassell deal was a factor. #Twolves

Interesting that Vassell's deal was a factor in Jaden's deal getting done.

If Vassell's deal was a factor than Jaden's deal should have unlikely to be met incentives. Good news.

If he ends up being only 17 or 18% of the salary cap, its a huge win for us.

Reading your posts is nothing but bad take after bad take, pretty exhausting..

Reported no team or player options, 5 mil of it would be bonuses.

Assuming it's 5 million total of "highly motivated" incentives, It's 1m less each year, starting at 22m. That is right where we think he lands (20-25), that is good for both sides

You have a right to that opinion. I have a right to think the same about yours.

Thanks. I was hoping it would be $2 million a year or more of unlikely incentives. Can you share a link with this information?

Or one year over the cap, give Gobert a 4 year extension with 1/2 the money so he doesn't exercise his player option year. The big question now is will Ant get a max or supermax? That will determine how much we have left over for Conley and who do we keep between Brown and/or Milton.

Maybe this is wishful thinking, but if we are successful next season, and Mike Conley stays for less money to be longterm, I wonder if that would encourage Gobert to do the same?

And also time to go read the Trade Board and hear all those people who always underestimate Jaden to say how the Wolves blew it again and overpaid!

I also have to admit I under-estimated the Trade Board. Most don’t have a problem with the contract.

I certainly think it's possible on both accounts.

The General board, on the other hand...
