What do we think the Spurs would be willing to offer Naz?
4/$120M?
4/$140M?
From what I observed last year playoff.. he is good.

No way they traded KAT to just let Naz goBut they traded KAT for Randle which then "forced" them to bench Naz so what do I know
Let's just hope that Fox has started the building trend and Naz follows suit.
Can you imagine Fox/Castle/Flagg/Naz/Wemby? My is pushing hard against my jeans.
Getting Fox was so crucial bc it starts to make Spurs a destination. If I'm Naz, knowing Fox is in SA now def factors in to my decision if it's ever to a point where my discretion comes into play.
Not sure if the cir stances will play out for us but MIN has been bungling lately so maybe we catch them sleeping. I like Naz as a fit in SA and he is on a short list of established players I would actually want to bring on.
By gawd, Naz Reid can play
He is a warrior......
What if Randle extends by lowering his salary for a longer deal?
Most likely scenario. Pretty sure his agent doesn't want him to hit the free agency. I don't think he'll have a market.
If Wolves don't keep him, it would be for financial reasons. He could then be S&T in a trade where Wolves don't take back salary (or at least very little salary).
The blueprint of a S&T move with Spurs getting Naz Reid would be:
Spurs trade:
- 2 second round picks.
- 2030 first round pick swap with Minny.
- Branham
- Wesley
- One of Mamu, Bassey or McLaughlin S&T with a $3M/1 year guaranteed salary
Spurs get:
- Naz Reid with a $91M/4 years contract.
Wolves trade Naz Reid for Mamu/Bassey/McLaughlin and the 2030 swap rights cancelled.
Team 3 trade nothing for Branham and a second round pick.
Team 4 trade nothing for Wesley and a second round pick.
If $91M/ 4 years isn't enough for Naz Reid, this trade could be done with him getting a little more and with Mamu or Bassey getting more guaranteed $ in their S&T. Spurs could also spend a third round pick to trade this S&T player to another team than Minny.
If Naz Reid want something like $120M/4 years, the trade would be more complicate to do because it would take a team willing to take Barnes or Johnson without sending back salaries.
I wanted him badly the last time he was going into free agency and instead he quickly signed a sweetheart deal to stay in Minny.
If the Twolves want to keep him they need to start him and pay him and he’ll stay.
He likes it there and the fans adore him.
If they screw that up we might have a chance
Why would it be the most likely scenario?
It's obvious Timberwolves don't want Randle, he doesn't fit the team.
He was just a salary filler in KAT trade to give them long-term flexibility.
The only way he stays in Minnesota is if he opts-in and Timberwolves fail to trade him this summer.
Finding a way to keep Naz will be their #1 priority, then it's about if he wants to stay there or prefers a change of scenary.
Aldridge? But that was a decade ago now (!)
Naz is the dream proto-type PF for the Spurs. Of course, this seems like an unsubstantiated assertion that he wants to come here.
The great news is that a PF of this type is on the horizon for the Spurs. That's the missing piece here. The other pieces should fall into place around a beast PF. There are more SF types to choose from that could round out the lineup.
I'm not totally sold on the coaching staff/FO at Minnesota. It seems like something is off up there.
Goodbye Sochan
I don't know. I could see Sochan being a decent backup to Reid for small ball lineups and to keep up the defensive pressure when Naz sits.
True but as a 9th overall pick, we were hoping for a starting PF when Spurs picked him up. It’s stating to be all 3 of our 2022 picks are disappointments.
It's better to accept a player isn't good enough than to offer them a family values extension and hope for the best.
Which team would even be interested in Devin's $27M a year with so little cap space available around the league?
Soon enough we'll just be hoping we can dump him without giving up too much.
I don’t think this is happening unless he really wants to play here. I think there will be more lucrative offers. Just like with Tobias Harris some team will overpay him.
Something that I don't see being discussed about the Naz Reid situation is Minnesota's ownership, which is super weird right now. No one knows whether they'd be willing to keep paying extraordinarily high levels of tax , especially if they flame out in the playoffs early. According to the latest figures T-wolves had only $328 mil of total Revenue for the previous season, and for this one they'll be paying $91 mil of tax on top of a $200+ mil payroll for the roster only. This is unsustainable for a business.
So the question is, would the new owners (if they finally take over), have the stomach to keep paying? We're not talking about the 2nd apron even, just the tax.
Their cap situation obviously depends a lot on Randle's PO, but I imagine if some team offers Naz something in the region of $25-30 mil starting, it'd be really difficult for Minnesota to keep him. Besides, he's unrestricted, if he wants to go somewhere there's nothing they can do about it. So, basically, if he wants to sign for the Spurs there are a million ways to get it done, be it a sign and trade or straight up after dumping some contracts.
