Summary

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 Sign up today for a 14-day free trial of Aura’s digital security at Aura.com/Dane Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast brought to you by The Genesis Company.
0:18.1	Coming to a Tuesday afternoon, it's February 7th.
0:20.7	Weird timing for an episode, The Wolves and Nuggets.
0:23.2	About to play here in a couple hours.
0:24.7	But this episode isn't going to be a game-specific episode, or say, I'll be recapping
0:29.6	what does go down in Denver on Tuesday and a Wednesday morning with Jason Frederick.
0:35.3	So this episode is just going to be me me and i want to hit on three things
0:38.3	that again aren't game specific uh with there being more and more talks surrounding naz read
0:43.7	as an extension candidate rather than a trade candidate i want to get into the logistics of how an
0:49.2	extension would work for naz and how salary cap-wise, an imminent right now,
0:54.5	NAS extension is, or in the next week,
0:58.7	is likely contingent on how they handle the trade deadline from a salary
1:02.4	cap standpoint.
1:03.7	I also have a hypothetical trade.
1:05.3	I'd like to go through related to DeAngelo Russell that is different than the
1:10.3	bantered about kind of Kyle Lowry or Mike Conley trades.
1:13.5	Just on a with the deadline right here, kind of think of different ways that DeAngel Russell could be traded just because I don't think that Lowry or Conley type deal is, is all that likely to go down.
1:25.8	So it's just another option way of thinking of it.
1:28.7	And then I also talked to Jalen Noel at Wolf's Practice this afternoon, just about how
1:34.5	his name is also kind of in the trade mix, free agency mix, and also about how he is no longer
1:41.5	going to be forced to play point guard now that Jordan McLaughlin is back.
1:46.6	And, you know, just kind of the idea he talked about a little bit about how needing to play point guard was a little unnatural.
