US media revealed that Timberwolves center Reed will jump out of player option & Lakers Warriors Bucks and others are actively recruiting

On June 2, US media revealed: NBA Timberwolves center Naz Reid will have a $15 million player option contract for next season this summer, but with his data performance this season and the honor of the best sixth man in the league last season, he will definitely jump out of the contract and become a free agent in the offseason and strive for a larger contract renewal. Of course, the Timberwolves can choose to renew the contract with him first, but other teams in the league can provide him with a new maximum salary renewal contract to poach!

Reed played for the Timberwolves in the 2024-2025 season. He played in a total of 80 games in the regular season, averaged 27.6 minutes per game, scored 14.2 points + 6.0 rebounds + 2.3 assists + 0.7 steals + 0.9 blocks, shooting percentage of 47.0%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.0%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.0%. He averaged 10.4 points + 4.7 rebounds + 1.7 assists + 0.7 steals + 0.9 blocks per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 39.0%.

It is reported that many playoff teams such as the NBA Warriors, Lakers, and Bucks have expressed their strong interest in Reid, believing that he is very good at both offense and defense, and has stable and efficient long-range three-pointer skills. Reid can achieve excellent data of 20+10 in 36 minutes, and can be suitable for any team to serve as the starting center position!
