Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Wolves beat writer, Jace Frederick of the St. Paul Pioneer Press to discuss the Wolves taking the early steps toward finding an identity in the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns. The majority of the conversation centers on the idea of which players will be instrumental in creating that identity. But before getting into all of that, Dane and Jace touch on the Wolves’ signing of former-Laker Matt Ryan to a two-way contract. — What do we make of the Matt Ryan signing? Something or a nothing-burger? — What do we think the KAT-less identity of this team will prove to be during this stretch? — What are the non-Rudy minutes going to look like in KAT’s absence? — Might Luka Garza and/or Nate Knight find their way into the rotation? — We’ve talked about Ant needing to step up as a leader in KAT’s absence. What has that leadership looked like? What might it look like going forward?

0:00.0	This is the dayne more NBA podcast, brought you by Blue Wire podcast, coming at your
0:17.8	Wednesday morning.
0:18.6	It's December 7th.
0:22.4	The wolves are in the middle of this weird sort of lull in their schedule, obviously tonight. They play at home against
0:27.6	the Indiana Pacers, but other than that, the wolves have only played one game in the last
0:32.7	seven days, which has meant a lot of practice time, you know, to drill in some principles, drill out some bad habits that have sort of plagued this team thus far.
0:43.3	They've had lots of practice time in Minneapolis to do that, which also means lots of media availability.
0:49.5	It's kind of been a mini training camp in ways for us in the media, being able to sort of talk to Finch on a daily basis,
0:56.3	get to interview a good chunk of the roster.
1:00.4	And I think all of that will help shape the majority of my conversation today with Wolves Beatwriter,
1:06.0	Jace Frederick from the Pioneer Press, as we get into, again, sort of what we think the identity of this team
1:13.4	without Kat will be.
1:15.8	But, Jase, before we get into all that, we did have some news that we should probably get to
1:21.4	off the top of the show, and that's that the wolves have signed former Laker, kind of former Celtic
1:26.9	last year.
1:28.2	Matt Ryan to a two-way contract, he replaces A.J. Lawson, who has been waived now for
1:33.7	like the second or third time on this team. That's kind of a rotating spot on this roster,
1:39.9	the final spot in this roster. Do you take anything into consideration here with Matt Ryan?
1:46.5	What this means?
1:47.5	Is this a nothing burger to you?
1:49.1	Where are you at with it?
1:50.6	I think it's a nothing burger.
