Dane Moore: By replacing Wendell Moore Jr.’s $2.537M contract with a veteran minimum contract ($2.1M), the Wolves will save about $450k in salary — which will also save them a couple million in luxury tax payments dependent on how far above the tax they finish the season out at
. But if they replace him with the No. 53 pick and sign that rookie to a rookie league minimum ($1.1M) they will save millions more. This is a cost-cutting move.
