Naz also deserves a ton of credit. He was only days away from becoming an unrestricted free agent, and several more lucrative offers were rumored from other teams. He chose to come down on his number and play for less, on a team that wasn’t great for his career with big men ahead of him, because he liked the team and appreciated that the Wolves were willing to sign him.
I hate hearing it because you make it sound like the rest of the group didn't want him or weren't willing to sign him to an extension. That's simply not true. Yes, Taylor put his final stamp of approval on it when he couldn't say no, but it wasn't Taylor going against the wishes of everyone else in ownership and basketball operations.
