Three for three: Ryan Gomes became the third Wolves’ free agent in eight days to agree to a new contract when he and his agent did so on Friday to a multi-year contract.

I probably won’t track down the financial nitty gritty until after the weekend, but I’m pretty sure the contract is for at least three years and it conditionally might be another couple years longer than that.

Last week, the Wolves signed Craig Smith to a two-year $4.8 million contract. On Wednesday, Sebastian Telfair finalized a three-year, $7.5 million deal that includes a $2.7 million third year that is his option.

Gomes’ agent reportedly sought a full mid-level exception ($5.5 million) from another team, but didn’t get an offer. The Wolves had the right to match any offer sheet Gomes signed.

On Wednesday, Kevin McHale said he considers the return of restricted free agent forward Chris Richard — the last of the team’s remaining unsigned free agents — next season basically a foregone conclusion.
