Fantasy Analysis
The moves were a formality the team had to go through with the start of the free agent bidding period beginning on Tuesday. By qualifying Gomes, Smith and Richard, the Wolves retained their right of first refusal for all three players. That means they will have the option of matching any offer the players get from another team. Gomes was acquired from Boston in last year's deal for Kevin Garnett. The versatile forward averaged career highs in points (12.6), rebounds (5.8) and assists (1.8) in his first season in Minnesota. He spent time at both small- and power-forward and is well-liked in the locker room. He said last weekend that he would like to return to Minnesota, and all signs point to that happening.
