When the Minnesota Timberwolves locked up their key frontcourt players, Julius Randle and Naz Reid, to contracts totaling $225 million over the weekend, everyone knew what it meant for Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

The Atlanta Hawks have been busy this offseason, as they traded for Kristaps Porzingis and then dropped back 10 spots on NBA Draft night in a deal with the Pelicans to add what could be a highly valuable unprotected 2026 draft pick.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been a busy team since last week, as the team and its players have made some significant moves. Several of these focused on securing the team's future as a Western Conference contender by retaining key contributors.

The Minnesota Timberwolves advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive season, falling just short of advancing for a shot at the franchise's first NBA title.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Naz Reid intends to sign a five-year, $125 million contract to stay with the franchise, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Reid was set to become one of the top free agents available on the open market, but instead, will stay with the franchise that signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2019.
