Gilly was one of only 5 of the 11 undrafted players played in all 3 games, although guards Willis and Quinones got a lot more minutes. He seems to be off to a pretty good start.

So is that how it works? You just get to decide who you want to play with?
Seems awesome if so…

Well, the team he is going to does have a say 
. I'm sure the agents are busy trying to find the best opportunity and best chance to play/get exposure. I remember last year Blake was pretty much stuck on the bench, so if Minny has more opportunity could be a good move.

I agree with your comments. It definitely seems like it was Gilly's decision. I wonder how the process works of switching teams? If the Warriors found out he was looking at switching, while still on the team, it probably would have hurt his playing time.
Hopefully the way it went down is that the Timber Wolves' scouts watch the SF summer league games and liked what they saw in Gilly and then approached with to switch teams.

Hadn't realized that the Warriors picked up Max McClung for summer league...I'll bet that's a big part of why Gilly moved on.

Warriors steal standout guard from Lakers for summer league
McClung is jumping ship halfway through summer league to join the Warriors.
I think McClung will make a roster this year and Warriors would be a good one. He could be a good 2nd unit guy - who can score when needed.
Interesting. Article says per diem, I’ve always known that as per day in my work lol. Guess summer league is different
They get a per diem to cover travel, meals, hotel PLUS $1500 for the 12-day period. It ain’t much but they’re getting the chance to showcase which is what the UDA guys all care about.
Some but not all meals are provided as a team, and anything outside of that has to come out of the $125/day per diem. But yes, travel and hotel are covered separately by the team.
The Economics of a Las Vegas Summer League Invite
While millions of fans are tuning in for Summer League, NBA teams are spending millions of dollars to fill out their Las Vegas rosters and host players during the tournament.

nothing fuels those summer league dreams quite like a double double animal style
Chatted with Klay Thompson hanging out in Dumbo,NYC yesterday.He was very happy Kenny was returning.
Do they have some work outs too? Hopefully Gilly and Grant get a little more run coming up. I heard a sports show talking about a team , possibly Minnesota and saying the summer league team was made up of their G league team.
Golden got 10 minutes last night as the Hawks got destroyed by the Pelicans. Couple of buckets, three boards, a steal, and a sweet assist running the floor:
I love McClung's game, hope he can catch on the NBA, he is fun to watch play.
He has, but his best thing going for him is his crazy vertical leap. Not sure at 6'2, how much that really matters in the NBA, especially when he is not a PG at that size. I won't count him out, and good luck to him, but it will be tough for him to stick around. He has improved his 3 point shooting, which is a must for him to have a chance.
Nice! One year minimum salary contract, but not guaranteed. Bonuses available if they get waived and end up signed to their G-League affiliate and can be converted to a two-way contract.
So no guarantees of anything, but a good sign that teams still see potential in him and it’s an opportunity to continue to show what he can do.

Is it now a 1-to-1 situation of NBA teams to G-League affiliates, or do some teams split affiliates? And can teams sign guys from others' affiliates or does there have to be done kind of trade for that to happen?
Not much new in this but worth a quick read

2022 Memphis Grizzlies Exhibit 10 Prospect Profiles: Jacob Gilyard
Gilyard becomes the second Exhibit 10 player linked to Memphis this offseason

Memphis is also a really good spot for Gilly. They play a unique brand of ball that is very guard centric. Lots of depth needed, particularly at the guard position.
Gilyard officially on board for Grizzlies training camp.
