Timberwolves officially acquire $24M former first-rounder to make room for Jonathan Kuminga
The Minnesota Timberwolves got a deal done with Jonathan Kuminga. They finally acquired a former first round draft pick to open up enough room financially for the 23 year old NBA champion.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have finalized a significant offseason move by officially acquiring a $24 million former first-rounder, Cody Williams, in a trade with the Utah Jazz. The primary purpose of the trade was to create financial flexibility for the team to sign Jonathan Kuminga, a highly touted prospect. As part of the deal, the Timberwolves sent Josh Green and cash to Utah, while retaining the No. 10 pick in 2024, Cody Williams.
Williams will serve as a valuable depth piece for the team, adding to their already strong roster that includes Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels, and Rudy Gobert. This move positions the Timberwolves to compete for a deep playoff run in the Western Conference.
