Naz Reid has become one of the most beloved players among Minnesota Timberwolves fans, but the question remains: Has he shown enough to warrant a long-term contract extension? It’s one of the most important decisions the front office must make in what promises to be a pivotal offseason.

Reid has a $15 million player option for the upcoming season. According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, Reid is expected to forgo that option and enter free agency. It's a logical decision for the Minnesota big man. He signed the three-year, $42 million extension in 2023 before he won Sixth Man of the Year.
