[Krawczynski] Kyle Anderson- “My family’s here. My son is on the spectrum. He’s doing really well here in the MN school system, and his development is really key. And he’s doing so well, so, you know, that plays a part into it.”
A quote that hit me pretty hard when I read it today. A reminder that these people are humans at the end of the day, and we shouldn’t forget that.
Damn fuck it, bring him back. Just give Leonard all his minutes this time
DrWolves
Bring him back baby
Ordinary-Hopeful
He was an effective defender on Luka and is a useful utility player. If they can make the dollars work, I am all for it. I think the further he gets from the eye injury the better his shooting will get.

I’m just never gonna say no to having savvy veterans on the Wolves. SlowMo has a lot of deficiencies but I trust his handle, decision making, and BBIQ more than anyone on this roster not named Conley.
Bring him back

Minnesota social services infrastructure for the win!

Is that code for “I’ll take a hometown discount?”
twinberwolf
Frankly I don’t think he could shoot any worse next year. If he wants to take a discount hell yea bring him back
HotStepper11
Best vet min we could likely get
SelfDestructIn30Days
If we can sign him, I’m all for it. I just don’t think he’s going to turn down 8-9 million/yr from a team like Denver if they offer it to resign with the Wolves at or near the Vet min.

I would love to get Kyle back. He made 9 mil this season and it was a down year – I think we can get him back on something that will work for us.
OnceInABlueMoon
I know what he means. I also have a child on the spectrum in MN and have been happy with the school system so far.

Would love to have Kyle back here on a minimum. He’s a smart dude that younger guys can learn from. Especially a guy like Leonard Miller, who could develop into a playmaking forward
2ndCatch
My dream scenario is him staying on a Vet min and shooting ~35% from 3 again as his eye gets better somehow, so opponents can’t just sag off him anymore.
CommissionerCam
I wouldn’t hate if Kyle were to take a paycut, but I don’t think he would and even a “friendly” deal becomes 10-20M more in tax value (I haven’t looked at it in detail, but it would be pretty expensive)
bellmonk
so…bring Kyle back but get an actual point guard too
PeekyAstrounaut
Ugh, I’ve been extremely down on Kyle all season because of his drop off but this round made me appreciate his uses. Honestly, for the money do we actually find a better utility player at his depth chart position? Fuck it, let’s keep Kyle!
JakkSplatt

le_sweden
I would love for him to stick around. He is a great player and the team trusts him.

If the Wolves trade Kat, (not saying that’s what I want) we’ll need Slomo for that backup 4 position behind Naz Reid.

What is the spectrum? Sorry but not native English speaker. Is it autism?
lakers612
I really like Kyle as a person and as a player. Do whatever it takes to bring him back
SemataryPolka
As a person on the spectrum who grew up in Iowa and now lives in Minnesota, I wish I would have grown up here. Maybe I would have been diagnosed a lot earlier in life
zoominzacks
The clip of him telling KAT to get to the corner, then yelling at Ant to pass it to KAT is a great example the value he brings, but that you rarely see
blazin_asian99
Really hope he stays after reading this quote. I was on the spectrum as well, so it means a lot. He may have been frustrating to watch on the offensive side but he was a key player during the Mavs series, and is a great leader. Let’s not forget some of the 3’s that KAT made were set up by Slo Mo!
toasterbuttplane
His BBIQ is pretty good, I think he would still be a great asset to our team. Sure his offensive production was pretty bad this season but I chalk that up to him recovering from his eye injury. He definitely stepped it up during the Mavs series
pathebaker
He can live here and not be on the team?
Rory_MacHida
I’m up for bringing him back. I think he’s important and can fill a unique need at a potentially good value. And he did hit a couple 3’s in the Mavs series which is a good sign. If he can clean things up mentally regarding his shooting he is a plus player. Bring him back.

Tbh Kyle Anderson is one of the best FA acquisitions this team has ever made.. I know he can be irritating.. be he can also be brilliant.. I like him.
Quintzy_
I wouldn’t mind bringing Anderson back for the right price, but it only really makes sense if one of KAT, Gobert, or Naz is moved. We saw throughout this year that Anderson just isn’t effective at all as a SF. He needs minutes at the PF position, and those are very hard to come by with the current Big rotation.
Toucan_Sam_Jr
Not trying to give myself away but his son has really developed this year. Early on he stuck to himself but halfway through the year he opened up. He’s just one of the kids now. I’m a huge Wolves fan but prioritize good people over the team.
