Interesting move and first sell of Detroit cap space. Minny had to be really dissapointed with the young guy to pay a decent SRP to make him dissapear

As of now they are 6m over the 2nd apron. And it looks like they are willing to do whatever it takes to get it under it.

It was a pick swap (16 spots) to dump 2.5M.

Ok ok you win Wolves. We will help you out. THJ´s 16M for McDaniels´s 23M.

Is Wendell Moore Jr. the new Quentin Grimes?  We pay some kind of draft capital and get back #37?

Or, did they just need #37 and Grimes is still coming our way?

Wendell Moore is the pick Minnesota made with the Mavs selection in the Christian Wood deal.

Interesting nugget at 2:53 of this video.  His favorite NBA city is Dallas.

One of his agents, Josh Hairston, has two clients.  Moore Jr. and Lively.  Hairston started as an agent with Mike Miller and moved to Klutch.  He played at Duke with Kyrie.  Smoke?

I allegedly loved Moore Jr. in that draft.

The couple of moves DET made between drafting Ron Holland and trading for Moore Jr. tells me they don't really care for Grimes that much. They still have Ivey and Cade taking the majority of minutes at the 1 and 2.
