Team Summary

Contender

The quiet winner of late summer: Jonathan Kuminga chose Minnesota's two-year, $12.4M prove-it deal (Y2 player option) over a bigger Lakers offer โ€” and the front office did surgical cap work to fit him, trading Josh Green's $14.68M expiring plus cash to Utah for 2024 No. 10 pick Cody Williams and John Konchar, then waiving Konchar and stretching his $6.17M over three seasons to slide under the second-apron hard cap. Anthony Edwards now has two former top-ten athletes (Kuminga, Williams) on upside deals around him. If either pops, Minnesota added starter-caliber talent for mid-level money; if not, the deals expire harmlessly.
