87.2 million in four years or 94.2 million in four years? Timberwolves Reed will face a decision to renew his contract this summer

On May 29, in the NBA Western Conference Finals G5, the Timberwolves lost to the Thunder 94-124 away, and the total score of the series was eliminated 1-4 and missed the finals. In this game, the Timberwolves substitute inside Naz Reed played stably, playing 24 minutes to contribute 11 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks, continuing to show the rotation value of both offense and defense.

With the Timberwolves season coming to an end, Reed's future contract choice has also become the focus of attention from the outside world. Reed has a salary of $13.99 million this season, and a player option of $15.02 million in 2025-26. He has the right to jump out of the free market this summer.

ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks reported that starting from June 28, the Timberwolves are eligible to provide it with a four-year early renewal contract totaling $87.2 million, with a first-year salary of $19 million. If Reid chooses to execute the player option, he can also sign a new contract with a higher total of $94.2 million in four years next summer, with a starting salary of $21 million.

From the perspective of performance, Reed has enough capital to attract the attention of many teams in the market. In the regular season this season, he averaged 27.5 minutes per game, contributed 14.2 points, 6 rebounds and 2.3 assists, shot 46.2% from the field, 37.9% from three-pointers, and 77.6% from free throws. In the playoffs, he remained efficient, averaging 10.4 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, shooting percentage of 50.9%, and three-point shooting percentage of 39.7%. He is a high-quality substitute insider with space and basket protection ability.
