Darren Wolfson on Jordan McLaughlin: It's a stare off. Will the Wolves budge? Will McLaughlin budge. He's a restricted free agent, so he doesn't have much wiggle room. But he's looking for a little bit more on the backside if the Wolves want to make a move after a year that he gets some financial protection.
Darren Wolfson: It looks like restricted free agent Jordan McLaughlin will eventually be back. He's got some league-wide interest but I don't foresee an offer sheet coming anytime.

Beasley, Hernangomez and McLaughlin are restricted free agents and Johnson has a $16 million player option. “We obviously are very, very happy with the things that we were able to see from those guys that are free agents this summer,” Ryan Saunders said. “They’ll continue to be priorities. Gersson, we work closely, and it has been a great partnership of getting guys that fit our time line, fit the system, the style of play that we want to play and guys that fit around Karl and D’Angelo.”
