https://tinyurl.com/2nuh7y6z After Tim Connelly’s first season as Timberwolves president of basketball operations, he was high on Naz Reid. When Reid was a free agent two summers ago, Connelly signed him to his second contract, even though the franchise had Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert as its starting frontcourt. 兩年前，在Tim Connelly接任灰狼隊籃球事務營運總裁的第一個賽季後，他 對 Naz Reid 評價很高。當時 Reid 成為自由球員，儘管陣容已經有 Karl-Anthony Towns 和 Rudy Gobert 作為先發前場，他還是簽下生涯第二 份合約續留。 Reid, for his part, was happy in Minnesota, content to be with the team that drafted and developed him, and happy to embrace the love of a fan base that made him a cult hero, even if potentially he turned down more playing time on other teams. Reid本人也很樂意留在明尼蘇達，很高興能待在選秀並培養他的球隊，也很 高興能擁抱將他視為偶像的球迷們，即使意味著他可能放棄了在其他球隊更 多上場時間的機會。 Two years later, Connelly, the Wolves and Reid haven’t changed their minds about each other, and Reid will now be a member of the team for at least the next four years. Reid is tearing up the player option he had for next season for around $15 million and will sign a five-year deal worth up to $125 million to stay in Minnesota, sources confirmed Friday night. The fifth year of the deal is a player option. 兩年後，Connelly、灰狼球團和Reid彼此之間都沒有改變心意，Reid現在將 至少在未來四年都是球隊的一員。消息人士週五晚上證實，Reid將放棄他下 個賽季約1,150萬美元的球員選擇權，並將簽下一份為期五年、價值高達 1.25億美元的合約，續留明尼蘇達。這份合約的第五年為球員選擇權。 Reid, who was the Sixth Man of the Year in 2023-24, is coming off a year in which he topped the numbers that earned him the honor. He averaged a career-high 14.2 points on 46% shooting and a career-high 6.0 rebounds while averaging 27.5 minutes per game. Reid是2023-24賽季的最佳第六人，他剛結束一個數據表現超越了為他贏得該 榮譽的賽季。他場均得分達到職業生涯新高的14.2分，投籃命中率46%，籃板 也達到職業生涯新高的6.0個，每場上場時間為27.5分鐘。 Reid is the first of a few dominoes to fall in free agency for the Wolves, who are trying to stay under the second apron of the salary cap and the punitive roster-building restrictions that come with that. Reid簽約是灰狼隊進入自由球員市場的開端，他們正努力將團隊薪資控制在 第二層繳稅門檻（second apron）之下，以及隨之而來的懲罰性組隊限制。 Julius Randle still has a player option of around $31 million he must decide to take or decline, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker is a free agent. The value of Reid’s deal (around $25 million per season, but likely less in the first year) means it will be difficult for the Wolves to retain Alexander-Walker if Randle opts in to his deal while staying under the second apron. Alexander-Walker is widely reported to be a target of multiple teams in free agency and could command around the full mid-level exception of $14 million. Julius Randle仍有一個約3,100萬美元的球員選擇權，他必須決定是否執行 或放棄；Nickeil Alexander-Walker則是非受限自由球員身份。Reid合約的 價值（每年約2,500萬美元，但第一年可能較低）意味著，如果Randle選擇執 行選擇權，同時球隊要保持在第二層豪華稅門檻之下，將很難留住 Alexander-Walker。據外界消息，Alexander-Walker是多支球隊在自由市場 的目標，他可能會要求接近1,400萬美元的全額中產特例。 Reid was also a potential target of other teams, but just like two years ago Reid is opting to stay in Minnesota even if it means he will come off the bench again behind Randle and Gobert. Reid也是其他球隊的潛在目標，但如同兩年前，即使意味著他將再次擔任第 六人角色，Reid選擇留在明尼蘇達。 --- 25-26 21.55M 26-27 23.28M 27-28 25.00M 28-29 26.72M 29-30 28.45M(PO) 可能是上述數字，AE、Jaden、Naz三位的合約長度幾乎同步。 --
