Meh. I love Naz, but it’s not “Sixth Man of the Year that’s a Center” Award
I think Malik Monk’s wins this one.
1110 Points
148 Threes

Closer than I thought though!

I thought Malik Monk had this locked up (15.4 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 5.1 APG), but maybe a case could be made for Naz.
He’s at 13.6 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 1.3 APG, but his 3P% is 41.8% to Monk’s 35.0%, he’s a better defender, he’s been available for every game, and Naz is one of the main reasons MIN is still in first place, when everyone said they would drop when KAT went down.

I think this season-ending push might really help him, especially since everyone thought we would plummet without Towns. On the flip side, Monk supporters do have a case to see how much the Kings have been hurting without Monk (though it's not only him).

He really seems like a Bobby Portis to me, where he values winning and "culture" over the money.
And if you really sit down and think about it, one way or another the situation will likely be resolved in the next 15 months. There are four courses of action.
1. Stick with the status quo
-Most assume this is unlikely, but it's still a potential outcome.
2. Move KAT to fix the luxury tax issue.
-This is the early favorite in the clubhouse because he makes the most money and arguably has the most trade value.
3. Move Gobert
-Not often discussed, but I do think it should be. He'll be 33 in his last year, so there will have to be a succession plan made at some point. I wouldn't assume he'll be here in 2026-27, so his contract is a potential asset to use before it expires.
4. Move Naz Reid
-This is probably the least popular outcome, and probably for good reason. If and when he opts out, he'll still be just 26 years old. He fits perfectly for those who believe a roster's core should be within the same age range.

I'd rather trade KAT and keep Naz and NAW.

Me too. But Towns is paid what he is paid, which is an issue for some bidders. Naz is a plus contract that fits on everyone’s team.
