Kuminga Deal Forces Wolves to Move Green | NBA News
Description
The Minnesota Timberwolves just pulled off a savvy move, landing Jonathan Kuminga on a two-year, $12.4M deal to fill their starting power forward role — a spot they desperately needed. Kuminga reportedly chose Minnesota for guaranteed minutes and a starting role, boosting his value ahead of next season. But here’s the catch: the contract pushes them over the second apron, forcing them to clear salary. Enter Josh Green — the 14.7M player from the Naz Reid trade. With no draft picks left to trade, Minnesota’s only real option? Waiving Green and stretching his contract, saving nearly $10M in 2026-27. Not ideal, but necessary to make room for Kuminga and keep the roster intact.
