The Wolves will not have waited for the start of the summer hostilities on the transfer market to begin their work in the workforce. First move? An extension of Naz Reid, understudy of Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert in the paint. For 42 million dollars over 3 years, it’s a nice little bargain.
He is coming out of his best career season, has done his job as he should off the bench, behind the Towns – Gobert doublet. And for all these great efforts, the Wolves extend it with a fairly tidy amount of $42 million over 3 years. This is a great operation, because Naz Reid is a pure product of Minnesota. Drafted by Minneapolis in 2019, he has always evolved within the pack. With interesting beginnings, and a sequel that promises to be just as interesting.
Oh !! Didn’t even wait for the Free Agency, it’s already extended for Naz Reid at Wolves! And at a fairly nice price, what’s more, a great deal for a great backup!

11.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.1 points at 53.7% shooting, that’s why 42 million over 3 years represents a nice sum. With only four seasons in the NBA, Naz can still progress. He is also rather regular, with the bar of 70 games reached or almost over the last three regular games. To accompany Wolves in the Playoffs, such a profile can be decisive. Because the two pivot stars of the group will be able to breathe a little without jeopardizing the results of the group from November to April. And that then, its contributions will make it possible to enjoy a reliable tactical option in case of concern.
Will Minnesota keep so much money spent in its interior sector for very long? No.
Does that mean that there will be a transfer from KAT or Gobert within 1 month? No idea.
But Wolves have said they want to test their full squad.

However, this still adds to the payroll in the internal sector of the team. A team that would need to be strengthened a little more on the back lines, in order to help Anthony Edwards. Could we thus imagine a future transfer for one of the three pivots mentioned in this paper? Not necessarily, the idea is more to test the full potential of this group in this configuration before making any decision. We will then see which direction to take, but it’s time to give everything, and this signing therefore sets the tone for the Wolves.
