Enrique Freeman

Sounds like the Pacers may move on from Freeman (or at least not offer a two-way)

Probably the last place that it makes sense for him to go. The Cavs are good and have lots of depth already. He would have a better opportunity of cracking a roster elsewhere.

Enrique is now off to Minnesota after the Pacers pulled back his two-way offer.

I wonder if they play to play him as a post or a wing. I seem to remember Indiana saying they wanted him to be a wing, but then he never played much there. Minnesota is already fairly deep down low:

 

Naz Reid

Julius Randle

Leonard Miller

Jesse Edwards

Joan Berringer

Rocco Zikarsky

Of the players you mentioned above only Naz Reid and Julius Randle have done enough in the NBA to earn consistent minutes and figure to play the bulk of minutes for Minnesota this year. Everyone else is either unproven or a JAG (just another guy).

 

If Minnesota is placing Freeman on a two way deal, they're likely not expecting much from him this season. Mainly break glass in case of emergency (fill in in case of injury plague) with the hope he can develop into something a season ot two down the line.

Any updates on Freeman?  If he does not get an offer on a 2 way contract, would it be better for him to sign with another team as a free agent or go to Europe and play and make some decent money.  Did not see anything that Minnesota offered him a 2 way.

Guess that would depend. Europe would pay far better, but G-League would provide him an easier pathway of potentially making an NBA roster in the future.

I'm not sure what's happened as to the Enrique to Minnesota rumors.  It seemed pretty solid the night of the alumni game.

Pretty sure there is a dead period right now for contracts.

Signed with the T-Wolves this morning

I'm so happy I don't have to root for the Pacers anymore! 🙌

 

Go Wolves.

Great news!!!  I guess it was a done deal but had to wait until today to announce it.  I hope he continues to improve and Indy regrets their decision to release him.

[clarkwgriswold]

I guess I'll have to overlook my disdain for Anthony Edwards.

 

Go T-wolves!

I never really had an NBA team, so Rique was my excuse to root for the Pacers last year. It was a very fun team, I'm excited for him but bummed he's not a part of it now. Guess I'll buy a Wolves jersey now 😂
