On September 30, according to ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst: Last year, Towns was very proud as he handed the team reins to Edwards while also participating in the All-Star game. Previously, Towns had sought assurance from General Manager Connelly that he would not be traded, as he wanted to adapt to that role. However, sources say that Connelly did not make a commitment.
Gobert and Reed both have player options for next season. While it is unlikely that Gobert will opt out of his $46 million player option, it is almost impossible for the Timberwolves to shoulder both Gobert’s and Towns’ $53 million contracts for the 2025-26 season, whereas Reed’s player option stands at only $15 million.
