125 million yuan in fat contract! Another drawback from the draft, I m sorry Walker, it s hard for you to stay in the team

The Timberwolves have performed well in recent years. While building the team around super point guard Edwards, Edwards also surprised the fans. Last year, they joined forces with Towns and successfully entered the Western Conference Finals. This year, Towns was replaced by Randall, and the Timberwolves once again reached the Western Conference Finals. It turns out that it is true to have Edwards as the core of the team building. Edwards is only 23 years old, and this Wolves team is still very promising. Therefore, it is crucial to renew the contract for excellent players, 125 million yuan in fat contracts! Another draft counterattack, I'm sorry Walker, it's hard for you to stay in the team.

Timberwolves have a good paper lineup, and the boss Edwards has a maximum salary and Gobert also renewed his contract with a contract cut last year. McCon Daniels is an excellent striker and has also won a big contract. The contract between Divinchenzo and Conley also did not expire. So among the core players, the ones that need to resolve the contract this year are Randall, Reed and Walker.

The three players have all performed excellent personal performance this year, with Reed being the super sixth man in the league. Last year, he averaged 13.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game and maintained a 41.2% three-point shooting percentage, so he was elected as the sixth man. Reed also continued his outstanding performance this year, averaging 14.2 points, 6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 38%. After entering the playoffs, Reed can average 10.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is also 40%.

He is a space power forward with strong mobility, accurate three-pointers, and does not rely on the ball. He is a very suitable inside player for playing in the small ball era and is the type of player who can score when you come on the bench. So this summer, the Timberwolves chose to renew his contract with Reed, and the Timberwolves provided Reed with a large contract of $125 million for five years. Although it is a contract of RMB 100 million, the age has reached 5 years and the average salary is only US$25 million. In today's era, it's a great contract. As the undrafted draft in 2019, Reed also became another undrafted draft after VanVleet and Rivers Jr. After Reed renewed his contract, the Timberwolves faced a huge trouble. According to salary expert Yossi, if the Timberwolves renew their contracts with Randall and Walker at the same time, the team will surpass the second rich line and will need to pay an extra $65 million in luxury tax. For the Timberwolves, they are a small ball market, and the cost is obviously too high. I sent Towns away last year to save costs.

, Randall averaged 21.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game in the playoffs this year. It is the team's thigh and the top second in command, so there is little suspense to keep Randall, and again, it is to sign first and then exchange. Walker is about to become a victim. He averaged 8.3 points and 2.3 assists per game in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 39%. Although there have been explosions, he can only be considered an ordinary role player overall. Compared with the luxury tax of $65 million, it is obvious that it is difficult for Walker to stay in the team.
