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. Richard, a second-round pick out of Florida a year ago, spent some time in the NBDL and played sparingly in his rookie season. He is not a recommended Fantasy option or long-term keeper at this juncture. He could be a reserve for his entire NBA career. (Updated 07/01/2008).
