No matter what this free agency holds, one critical decision has been made for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Naz Reid has a wide open market with any team of his choosing. It was unpredictable if he would decide to stay and rebuild the Wolves with Anthony Edwards, or be the first option elsewhere. Maybe the new owner, Alex Rodriguez’s influence worked. Because Reid has reportedly come to a decision.
The news comes from Shams Charania. So you best hold your best. Naz Reid’s agent reportedly declined a $15 million player option for next season. That means he’s staying at the Minnesota Timberwolves for the foreseeable future.
Reid is a very sought after free agent throughout the league. He was getting similar options elsewhere with the added guarantee of a starting role. The Wolves are looking at him as one of the key figures in rebuilding the franchise after the $1.5 billion transition from Glen Taylor to A-Rod and his business partner, Marc Lore.
As per Shams, Reid is likely to sign a new five-year contract with the Wolves. This is going to get him a 9-figure payday – approximately $125 million.
This is a developing story.
