After having some success in Portland starting for playoff teams, Vonleh's stock plummeted as he was traded to Chicago in 2018 and could not get more than a minimum contract from the Knicks last summer. I was surprised there was hardly any interest in Vonleh, and I feel somewhat justified as he did have some moments this season from an albeit horrible Knicks team.

 

Vonleh is no longer a power forward like he played in Portland, his value will come at center, and only at center. He's still only 23 years old, and has the length and athleticism to provide enough rim protection and pick and roll ability to be a serviceable backup center.

Potential Teams: Hawks, Knicks, Mavericks, Pelicans, Cavaliers

Predicted Contract: 2-year, $6 million with the Hawks

*Actual Contract: 1-year, $2 million with the Timberwolves.

​

Vonleh got slightly more than the minimum, which was a little less than I expected.
