NBA fans most times look forward to the NBA free agency period. This period lasts for about 48 hours and is usually the most entertaining and the craziest and is the period where teams begin speaking to free agents. NBA Twitter is also very active at this period where there are rumors, meetings, midnight visits and salary figure discussions. In this season there is an increase in salary figures to about $94M. There is an increase in cap space to around $27M where the Wolves will be going to the free agency with about three free roster spots. This is despite the fact that Doogie Wolfson has a different amount of $29M recorded in his podcast. This period the league does not have a lot of money to spend on the free agents class during the summer.
This is to mean that there will be some big contracts set aside for insignificant guys that will cause regret in the coming period. Wolves are interested in some players and Darren Wolfson in his podcast link has cited eight of them. The players include Eric Gordon, Kris Humphries, D.J Augustin. Joakim Noah, Ryan Anderson, Courtney Lee, Randy Foye and Luol Deng, Anderson seems to have been doing poorly in his recent games. Foye and Gordon do not seem to give much hope in the NBA games. Other players that are of interest include Mizra Teletovic, Zaza Pachulia, John Leur among many others. The New York Liberty will be hosted by Lynx where they will try to get back on track even though they have had major improvements moving from 10-5.
