Sacramento: One man’s trash is another’s treasure, and that’s the theme of this deal: one that sends three players with expiring contracts and a fourth on a minimum deal on a cross-country journey in search of a team that actually might want to keep them…
Minnesota: The Wolves went sorting through Sacramento’s scrap heap looking for a halfway decent big man to supplement their rotation, and if Williams can get in shape he could be an answer. He showed up 20 pounds heavy to Sacramento and never quite shed the extra baggage, but even so, he’s put up decent numbers in his limited minutes. He’ll audition for his next contract over the season’s final two months; Minnesota would be able to keep him on the cheap if it likes what it sees.
Brown, who has had a rough rookie season, could potentially help answer Minnesota’s need at the point. Plus, the Wolves exponentially increased their odds of a Marc Stein visit by adding the Fullerton alum. Grade: B-minus
