Outlook

The Wolves have some difficult decisions to make if they want to stay below the 2nd apron. Those are made so much easier by Randle and to some degree NAW being friendly to the organization. They are able to retain all of their impact players and even add some additional young talent to make an impact for years to come. They add Duane Washington Jr., Tyrese Martin, Cameron Matthews on 2 way deals. Julios Randle and NAW let the Wolves stay exactly $1 below the 2nd apron.
