Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[F Gump]

Yossi Gozlan: The Wolves only needed to save $2.1 million to create the apron space to sign Jonathan Kuminga with the taxpayer mid-level. This trade saves them $2.5 million, creates a trade exception worth that amount, and gives them additional depth. They’re $415,566 under the second apron.  Jonathan Kuminga's agent on why he didn't sign a 3-year, $75 million extension with the Warriors: “Money coming before basketball is not how you continue to make more and more money... Next year is a way better free agency year for him... teams that have been trying to sign-and-trade for him, like Sacramento and Chicago, will have a lot of money.” (via @RunItBackFDTV)

I'm skeptical re this thinking. Sounds like denial of reality to me. We'll see in 2027.
