The Minnesota Timberwolves have secured Naz Reid for five years at $125 million, a deal that reflects his importance as the team's longest-tenured player. Reid's return is celebrated by fans and the organization alike, especially as he received a contract considered reasonable for a player of his caliber.

His performance as a Sixth Man of the Year winner in 2024 solidifies his role as a vital contributor alongside rising stars Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels. Meanwhile, Myles Turner moved from the Indiana Pacers to the Milwaukee Bucks on a four-year, $107 million contract, following the Bucks’ decision to waive Damian Lillard.

Turner's previous desire for a deal similar to Reid's was a pivotal factor in his departure from Indiana. Giannis Antetokounmpo's recruitment played a significant role in enticing Turner to join Milwaukee's roster.
