Currently, the Minnesota Timberwolves have two open standard roster spots. The Wolves have prioritized continuity this offseason. So far, their only moves have been extending Naz Reid and Julius Randle and re-signing Joe Ingles. While they were priced out of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Minnesota is set to bring back a nearly identical roster.
Despite having two open roster spots, the Wolves are likely to leave one open to start the season. This would give the Timberwolves some extra financial and roster flexibility. In the second-apron era, this has been a fairly common strategy for teams with high payrolls.
