John Karalis: The Luka Garza and Josh Minott signings are official
Forsberg shared his take on the Minott signing during Tuesday's Early Edition. "First off, dude has an elite nickname. He's the 'lawn mower,' because he is relentless with his energy, and I think we're seeing a theme here with the guys that the Celtics are bringing in, whether it's draft or through free agency. Cutters, energy, younger guys that just bring some tenacity to the floor. They also have some versatility. Minott's got a great leap, he's got a decent 3-point shot. "Look, I'm not telling you that he's going to step in and all of a sudden blossom, but these are the chances you have to take as you're starting to develop. You only have so many draft picks you were willing to bring in. At least there's a little bit of established-ness with this guy in terms of what he's been able to show at the pro level. So let's just start rolling some dice and figuring it out."

Jon Krawczynski: From what I can gather on the Wolves' thinking on Ingles: He's a good vet, beloved by teammates and valued by coaches. Will take a spot without expecting big playing time without issue. Minott wanted to go elsewhere for minutes. Any young player would have similar frustration

Edwards posted a team-best plus-minus of plus-21 in 34 minutes and received universal praise from his teammates for the gutty performance. "My man's got an immortal ankle," Wolves forward Josh Minott said as Edwards was starting his postgame interview with reporters in the locker room. "He's one of the more resilient people that I know," Randle told ESPN. "Nothing holds him down. He never misses games. For as much attention and effort teams do to try to stop him, he's never one to sit out a game. ... I don't know, he's like Ironman. I've seen him get hit, get knocked down so many times. Better off, he's like Wolverine. He gets hurt and he does something in the back. I don't know what the hell he does ... but he comes out and he balls. That's what he does."
Christopher Hine: Rudy Gobert recognizes he needs to be better rebounding: "Don’t overthink it. Just go get it. Sometimes I overthink, which takes me out of the flow." Chris Finch also said Josh Minott hasn't played recently because of defensive issues -- fouls and game plan mistakes.
Dane Moore: Josh Minott’s deal for next season was non-guaranteed, but guaranteed today at $2,019,699.
