Naz Reid re-signs with Wolves: 5 years, $125 mil

[SchoolboyC]

I’d have to think either Randle or Gobert getting moved now, they’re basically knocking on the 2nd apron door

 

[2 one 3]

He kinda sucked in the playoffs this year…


Get paid tho…

 

[Big Boss]

Sheesh

 

[GilSho]

And nikkas claimed Reaves getting $35m was unfathomable. There's a new standard in the NBA.

Deandre Hunter makes 22 million playing off the bench for Cleveland so 25 million for NAZ isn’t so bad.

This assures that Nickeil Alexander Walker will be somewhere else next season. Orlando and Charlotte should be on that

Sounds right

they're under it because Rudy and Conley took paycuts.

It guarantees NAW is gone but they knew that already.

I have heard NAW will be let go rather than Gobert or Randle

16% of the cap (and lower year after year) is fine for someone who gets starter minutes like Naz does. Issue is tying up all those resources in Naz/Randle/Rudy when it might not add up to a Finals worthy team, didn't look like they belonged on the same court as OKC.

It clarifies why Beringer was picked: so that when it's time to reduce his role, they have the guy in place.

It also confirms what everyone shoulda known: the KAT trade had very little to do with Randle and more with the fact that they're betting the future on Ant's homies (Naz and JMac). The problem is that there's a very good chance neither can be the third best player on a title team which will be tough for fans to take since Naz might very well be one of the three most beloved players that franchise has ever had.

man we’re really about to give myles turner some crazy money

From viewing their Spotrac, looks like if we account for Beringer and they let go of the 3 non-guaranteeds (Minott, Garza, Miller) they’ll be 13 mil under the 2nd apron with 10 under contract. Keep all 3 and they’ll be 6 mil under with 2 open spaces

So we supposed to believe you over Keith

"will likely be staying."

That's implying they'll do other shyt that pushes them over.


Right now they have 14 guys signed including the 17th pick (assuming Randle, Minott, Garza and Miller are picked up).

They go after one vet minimum guy (worst case, Bones) and they're barely under the 2nd apron. They're not over it now.

The deal would start at $21.55 million for 2025-26 if it contained the maximum 8 percent annual raises. If so, and if the Wolves decline Luka Garza’s $2.4 million team option, the Wolves would have $39 million remaining below the second apron to pay Julius Randle and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. That number presumes that Randle opts out of his $30.9 million deal for 2025-26; if he opts in, there is only $8 million below the second apron left. While the Wolves could spend beyond that threshold by re-signing their own players, including Randle and Alexander-Walker, it would come with significant limitations on in-season moves and freeze their 2033 first-round pick.
