Minnesota Timberwolves’ Naz Reid could sign a whopping $125 million contract to stay with Anthony Edwards-led Roster….
Here’s the latest: Naz Reid is officially set to stay in Minnesota on a five‑year, $125 million extension (with a player option in the final year), replacing his team option for the 2025‑26 season .
Commitment to Reid: After winning Sixth Man of the Year in 2024 and averaging a career-high ~14.2 PPG, he solidifies his role off the bench and occasionally starting alongside Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert .
Cap implications: This deal (~$25M AAV) inches Minnesota close to the second tax apron (around $206 million), making it difficult to re-sign both Julius Randle (with a $30.9M player option) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker .
Rumble in roster decisions: Expect Randle to decide before June 29 whether to opt-in or out, and Alexander-Walker is likely to seek a larger deal elsewhere .
Strong core locked in: Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, and Naz Reid provide solid versatility for starters and bench depth .
Upcoming dominoes: With Reid’s extension official, attention now turns to resolving Randle’s situation and possibly losing Alexander-Walker.
Naz Reid has committed to staying in Minnesota via a five‑year, $125M deal, but it will constrain the Wolves’ salary cap, forcing tough decisions regarding Randle and Alexander-Walker.
