Draymond Green Gives Bad News to Jonathan Kuminga After $12.4M Timberwolves Move
Anthony Edwards and Chris Finch helped Minnesota land the 23-year-old forward, who chose basketball fit over richer offers from Los Angeles.
- Forward Jonathan Kuminga agreed to a two-year, $12.4 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, choosing the team for basketball fit over significantly richer offers from the Los Angeles Lakers.
- Incoming controlling owner Marc Stad authorized president of basketball operations Tim Connelly to improve the team's initial offer, securing access to the roughly $6 million taxpayer midlevel exception.
- Minnesota targeted Kuminga after he averaged 20.8 points on 54% shooting against the Timberwolves during the 2025 playoffs, with Anthony Edwards emphasizing a defensive core including Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert.
- The Wolves also acquired guard LaMelo Ball from the Charlotte Hornets last month in a trade involving Naz Reid, a move ESPN NBA insider Tim MacMahon said has drawn skepticism from front offices.
- Anthony Edwards is reportedly pleased by the offseason moves, which also included extending Ayo Dosunmu; the strategy signals a significant gamble by Connelly to maximize the team's championship window under Stad's new ownership.
