Reed s 125 million contract has caused doubts!

Too expensive! The $125 million contract signed by Reed and the Timberwolves has caused ESPN insider Bobby Max to question whether the deal is worth it. He believes that the Timberwolves may have given too much to keep inside player Reed. The Minnesota Timberwolves recently signed a five-year, $125 million contract with their substitute center Naz Reed, and this matter suddenly became popular. This contract means Reed will stay with the team for a long time, and everyone is talking about this decision.

Reed won the NBA's sixth best man in 2024, and his performance this season was also good, but when he played in the playoffs, neither he nor his teammates could perform as well, and eventually lost, which also made his condition a little bit questionable.

Recently, ESPN's internal NBA reporter Bobby Max questioned the signing of the Timberwolves. He said in an interview: "This contract is indeed quite big. I know you must be rewarding this player in your heart. He is indeed a good player, but you may also be thinking in your heart that if the Nets have salary space, who are you competing with? In fact, you may consider signing first and then changing, it depends on whether the Timberwolves are willing to cooperate."

If Reed enters the free market next year, there will definitely be no shortage of suitors, but because his performance in the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder may also be affected. But then again, NBA teams now want the kind of big guy who can open up space outside the three-point line, and Reed is one of the best in this regard. For example, when he was playing against the Lakers in the first round, he opened his firepower from the outside and directly defeated his opponent.

Because Nikil Alexander Walker is about to become a free agent, many teams are probably interested in him. The Timberwolves have to make a few key decisions this summer.

If he really leaves in the end, management may be under pressure. Either they have to find someone to trade to fill his position, or they can only continue to develop young players on the team, such as Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon II, to get them to the top.
