The Minnesota Timberwolves approach to reforming the roster this offseason will be highly influenced by their restrictive salary cap situation.
If the Minnesota Timberwolves choose to run back their existing core of players without any major trades this offseason, their biggest asset for acquiring players will be their Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level exception, with is estimated to be worth approximately $12,221,000.
The existing contracts of PF Karl-Anthony Towns, C Rudy Gobert, and PG Mike Conley paired with the potential contracts of SG Anthony Edwards (extension-eligible), SF Jaden McDaniels (extension-eligible), and backup center Naz Reid (unrestricted free agent) will leave the team will very little cap space to work with to sign free agents, meaning the front office may need to look along the margins for budget-friendly players to fill out the roster.
