I’ve got the Wolves with about $18.8M in space below the luxury tax currently… *if* they sign both Miller and Clark to rookie minimums ($1.1M).
Can use that $18.8 in free agency on some combination of Naz Reid, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, the MLE ($12.4M) and the BAE ($4.5M). pic.twitter.com/gSdAgTTW2n – 5:08 PM

Initial thoughts on the Wolves draft w/ @brittrobson…
– Some early film review of Leonard Miller and Jaylen Clark
– Connelly seeming confident in his plan
– Big trades changing the West
– Naz Reid destinations if he doesn’t re-sign (seeming to shrink?)

That said!!!
I profiled Kobe Brown @TheAthletic as part of my board. I said I saw Naz Reid shades, and Mason Plumlee is a free agent. Brown is skilled, and long, and has LAC character for sure.

More on this storyline
The Timberwolves want him back. That is true from the very top of the organization down through the front office and coaching staff. Taylor, Marc and Rodriguez are all on board with trying to get Naz Reid back, sources told The Athletic. The discussions on a contract have gone on all season and will continue. It has gotten to the point where free agency is so close that Reid almost has to dip his toe in the water to see where the market is before he makes a decision. But the Wolves are very much alive in this situation, which was made even clearer by his presence at the practice facility on Monday. -via The Athletic / June 20, 2023
Dane Moore: A good handful of Wolves roster players at the facility today. I’ve seen Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid, Jaden McDaniels and Jordan McLaughlin. The frequency in which Wolves players spend time in Minnesota during the summer has really gone up over the last few years. -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / June 19, 2023
This offseason, Timberwolves center and impending free agent Naz Reid said he has been getting “closer and closer” with teammates Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels, who, more than anyone else, are giving him the hard sell on staying with the team once the frenzy of free agency begins July 1. They have plans in the next several weeks, and it might be just a bit awkward if Reid isn’t with the Wolves any longer. “Leaving them would be a little heartbreaking, but they understand as well,” Reid told the Star Tribune in a Zoom interview Thursday. “Obviously we’re trying to push the opposite way to stay together. They’ve tried. I’m hanging out with them all the time. We’re getting closer and closer, so it would be hard for me to leave those guys.” -via Minneapolis Star-Tribune / June 15, 2023
