It’s a different ball game when somebody that talented listens you know what I’m saying and don’t think they got it all figured out. In the gym, always, whether it’s shootaround day, last one in the gym, whether it’s practice day, last one in the gym.

Clearly, he has the work ethic to succeed, and Prince’s revelation about him always being the last one in the gym shows that as well.</p><p>Edwards is now with Team USA, hoping to bring home a gold medal in the Olympics. Then he will turn his focus to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-biggest-mistake-2024-nba-free-agency">bringing the Timberwolves</a> to the mountaintop. They got close last year, losing to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals after beating the Denver Nuggets in the second round.</p><h2><b>Anthony Edwards has been confident since day 1 with the Timberwolves</b></h2><p>Theo Pinson went on to bring up Edwards’ confidence, and Prince confirmed that, talking about an experience he has during the 2023 NBA Playoffs against the Nuggets.</p><p>“1000%, I remember we was in a series against Denver my last year there and I think we lost the first two,” Prince said. “And I forgot who said it was like, ‘man we should try this or that,’ Ant said, ‘man, just give me the ball.'”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-tim-walzs-naz-reid-kamala-harris-vp-pick">The Timberwolves ended up</a> losing that series in five games, but Edwards did have a standout performance in Game 4 of that series, which showed a glimpse of what he could become in the future. It will be interesting to see how Edwards fares this coming season and if he can find success in the playoffs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He now writes about sports instead as a form of therapy.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Los Angeles Lakers have a few huge decisions to make this offseason; making sure that LeBron James <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-rich-paul-eye-opening-lebron-james-free-agent-slip">remains with the team</a> is their first order of business, while hiring the right head coach who would push the correct buttons to aid in the Lakers’ quest in competing for a championship is another pressing priority. It’s understandable if the free agency of Taurean Prince, who’s quickly becoming a journeyman, won’t be given too much importance.</p><p>Nonetheless, if it were up to Prince, he would prefer to stay with the Lakers even though he isn’t exactly a fan favorite. At 30 years old, it looks as though Prince <a href="https://lakersnation.com/taurean-prince-100-wants-to-re-sign-with-lakers-in-free-agency/" rel="noopener">wants to settle down</a> in LA.</p><p>“My family, the quality of life in Los Angeles is something that myself and my family haven’t had in probably three or four seasons,” Prince told Trevor Lane of Lakers Nation. “So to stay here would be definitely number one. If not that, then I mean, wherever the dominoes fall and wherever it’s best, that’s where I’ll be. But I for sure want to be a Laker, 100%.”</p><p>Stability isn’t something that Taurean Prince is too familiar with, as the longest he has stayed with a team is three years, and it’s with the team that traded for him on draft night in 2016. Prince has bounced around with the Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Minnesota Timberwolves after the Atlanta Hawks traded him away in 2019.</p><p>It helps that the Lakers reside in Los Angeles; LA has always been an enticing place for veterans to spend the latter half of their careers in. Alas, it’s unclear if the Lakers reciprocate Prince’s sentiment. If Prince is willing to wait for the Lakers to settle their more pressing matters, then perhaps the team could bring him back, as he most likely wouldn’t command much more than a minimum deal in free agency.</p><h2><b>Taurean Prince’s 2023-24 season with the Lakers was filled with ups and downs</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Lakers-forward-Taurean-Prince-12-drives-against-Denver-Nuggets-forward-Peyton-Watson-8.jpg"></figure><p>To begin the 2023-24 season, it seemed as though the Lakers struck gold with their additions of Taurean Prince and Cam Reddish. Prince, along with Reddish, gave the Purple and Gold some much needed size, shooting, and defense on the wing. Prince quickly endeared himself to head coach Darvin Ham, as Ham has experience coaching the veteran forward back in their days with the Hawks.</p><p>Alas, Prince’s inconsistency made him a frustrating player to root for for Lakers fans. Moreover, his shot selection was very frustrating. And it wasn’t as though Prince made up for it with stellar defensive work, as he was closer to average than he was to top-tier. It did not help matters that Prince was a subpar rebounder who compounded the Lakers’ struggles on that facet of the game.</p><p>But at the end of the day, Prince is a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-epic-praise-taurean-prince-in-new-role">viable floor-spacing option</a>; he finished the 2023-24 season having shot 39.6 percent from deep, so it’s not like he’s undeserving of a roster spot, especially when the Lakers could use as many shooters as they can.</p><p>The Lakers signed Prince to a one-year, $4.5 million deal last season; teams that are in need of a shooting boost off the bench could do a lot worse than bringing the 30-year old forward in. It’s unclear how big of a priority bringing Prince back is for the Lakers, however, so as willing as Prince is to return, only time will tell if he gets his wish.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Hachimura — the highest-paid of the three — offers a larger offensive repertoire and size. Prince, a career 37.2% 3-point shooter, provides imperative spacing around LeBron James and AD, along with quality wing defense.

At the time of this post, the Lakers have about $69 million left to use on free agents, including Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, and D’Angelo Russell — each are who are expected to command at least $18 million annually.</p><p>Troy Brown Jr., who spent last season as a useful 3-and-D type for the Lakers, signed with Minnesota.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Prince <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1674170209651892226" rel="noopener">took to Twitter</a> to share his honest reaction to learning about becoming a free agent on social media:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Taurean Prince found out from Twitter that he was going to be a free agent after the Timberwolves declined to guarantee his contract for next season 😬 <a href="https://t.co/OZiEz0j2pU">pic.twitter.com/OZiEz0j2pU</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1674170209651892226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 28, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Unfortunately, it appears that the Timberwolves failed to inform Taurean Prince of their decision on his contract ahead of time. It wasn’t until Woj dropped the news that Prince realized that he will probably be playing elsewhere this coming season.</p><p>Prince, 29, isn’t exactly a star, and he will now hit the free agency market looking to secure a new deal with, possibly, a new team. There will probably be a few squads out there that will be interested in acquiring his services, but until he is able to pen a new deal, his future in the NBA will be clouded with uncertainty.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team has declined the $7.4 million option for the forward, who will now hit NBA free agency.</p><p>Via Woj:</p><p>“The Timberwolves are declining to pick up Taurean Prince’s $7.4M contract for the 2023-2024 season, sources tell ESPN.

Prince should generate a ton of interest on the open market though and has been a very solid bench player for his entire career. The former Baylor standout averaged 9.1 points and 2.4 rebounds per night in 2022-23, playing 22.3 minutes a night.</p><p>Throughout his career, Prince has posted averages of 10.1 points, 3.7 boards, and 1.7 assists on 37% shooting from long range. He’s a true 3 and D wing who brings boatloads of versatility to whoever signs him. Plus, Prince is very experienced with seven years of service under his belt.</p><p>Before suiting up for the last two seasons for the Timberwolves, the 29-year-old played for the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, and Cleveland Cavaliers. Prince is probably worthy of the MLE.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-timberwolves-wizards-trade-for-point-guard/" rel="noopener">The Timberwolves</a> will be looking to improve upon their disappointing first-round exit at the hands of the Denver Nuggets a couple of months back where they lost in five games. The whole Rudy Gobert-Karl-Anthony Towns duo didn’t exactly work, although the latter did miss a lot of time through injury.</p><p>This is undoubtedly Anthony Edwards’ team but he does need a good supporting cast around him. Losing Prince will hurt the rotation but hopefully, they can replace the wing in free agency.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Anyone who says that clearly hasn’t watched basketball for the last 13 years or so. However, it is definitely an incredible milestone for Prince, one that he won’t forget any time soon.</p><p>The Timberwolves really needed that boost from Prince as well. With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-julius-randle-equals-insane-carmelo-anthony-record-in-third-quarter-vs-timberwolves" rel="noopener">Julius Randle exploding for a 50-piece</a> in the contest, Minnesota would have been on the losing end of things once again had it not for the sweet shooting of the 28-year-old vet.</p><p>Here’s to hoping that he can replicate that hot streak, though. Minnesota could really use more of such performances as they try to fight for a playoff spot in the West.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The last time he played was back on November 23rd against the Indiana Pacers, a game Minnesota ended up winning.</p><p>Since Prince’s injury, the Timberwolves have done little but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/5-people-most-to-blame-for-timberwolves-disappointing-start-to-2022-23-season" rel="noopener">tread water</a>, as the team currently owns a 17-21 record, which is good for the 11th-best in the Western Conference. However, a recent encouraging injury update indicates that the Timberwolves won’t have to wait any longer for their productive forward to return to the lineup.</p><p>Prince plans to make his <a href="https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1610734199249555456">return Wednesday night</a> against the Portland Trail Blazers, per a tweet from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Additionally, center Naz Reid (back spasms) and guard Bryn Forbes (right shoulder soreness) are both questionable to play for Minnesota.</p><p>Taurean Prince, 28, is in his seventh year in the NBA and second as a member of the Timberwolves. He’s averaging 7.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.2 blocks across 18 appearances this season (zero starts). Prince is shooting the ball very efficiently both from the field and behind the three-point arc — he’s converting 49.5% of his total field goal attempts and 38.9% of his threes.</p><p>As productive as Prince has been for the Wolves off the bench so far this year, don’t expect his return to change the trajectory of Minnesota’s season or anything close to that. After all, the team is still banged up as Karl-Anthony Towns hasn’t played since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-karl-anthony-towns-helped-off-court-with-scary-looking-injury" rel="noopener">late November</a>, and pass-first point guard Jordan McLaughlin has been sidelined for almost a month now.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s easy to see why Minnesota likes Prince: he’s a great three-point shooter who can defend wings reliably. He would’ve been part of a great supporting cast for the team. He was also a good member of the community, giving back to his hometown in San Antonio just a few days ago.</p><p>The Timberwolves are yet to respond to any questions surrounding the arrest of their player.
