Reid just won 6MOY, ix only 24, and is on arguably the best contract in the NBA. The Wolves likely won't trade him for anything, and will move KAT this summer.
Reid only has one year left on that deal. 2025-2026 is a player option which I'm sure he opts out.
You need to know Taylor owns the paper it was published in, but it was reported ARod and new ownership was planning to cut salary and trade KAT. That is part of the reason behind why Taylor halted the sale, apparently.
They are going to be another interesting team to watch.
I'm well aware of the battle going and IMO it's just Taylor trying to back out because of how much the team's valuation has soared.
I should have clarified that "if anything" they move KAT, and I think that because it's the logical move. They have a guy that's on the cusp of being a top 5 player, they have a guy who is about to win his 4th DPOY, they have the 6MOY on a bargain deal, and even the McDaniels contract is looking like it's going to be a great value deal. If they move anyone, it will be KAT, IMO, who has been constantly injured the last 5 years and is probably the guy they can most afford to lose.
To add, the Wolves probably have an interested partner in the Knicks. I could see them moving Randle for Towns. Randle will cost $20M less next year, and he has a player option the following year, which if he exercises, the Wolves could just let him walk and save the $30M, to spend on Reid (who is a fan favorite in Minny). And maybe the Wolves could get the Knicks to throw in a pick or two.
