This is the day more NBA podcast, brought you by Blue Wire podcast coming at your Wednesday, July 27th.

I want to hit one more episode here before we

sort of hit the desert of NBA things to talk about in August. It's getting a little dry

already. The Wolves roster is pretty much wrapped up barring some sort of trade. They did

sign Nathan Knight to the final roster spot last week. And now really all they have left is that second and final two-way spot, which means we don't, we don't have much left to speculate on.

So I figured on this episode, we'd kind of recap the off season by taking some questions from you guys that you submitted.

Obviously, I'm not going to be able to get to all of those questions.

But I did try and sort of take note of where most of those questions were coming from and

try to focus on those topics. And I pin that down to four topics that will hit. Those topics

are DeAngel Russell, how he's perceived in the media versus what his real impact on the game is.

Secondly, the wolf's exploding payroll, now they added Rudy Gaubert and how that will

be impacted by the NBA's salary cap, which is, again, set to sort of spike here in the next

few years as a new NBA TV deal comes in.

Also, many of you just ask about Rudy G Gobert and how the wolves might play as a group

with Rudy in the fold. So we'll dig in there too. And then we'll wrap up. I thought these were

kind of fun questions. We'll wrap up by looking at how the wolves might miss the players they

lost in the trade. I don't feel like I've really hit on that a lot here as we've talked a lot about

the Go Bear trade. So we'll talk a little bit about how the wolves, had they been able to keep one or a few of those players,

which ones might have fit this group best?

But we'll start the questions with DeAngel Russell.

And the first question I got was from Devin Hedberg.

He asks, I am by no means Adelos Stan.
