The Minnesota Timberwolves' pursuit of Jonathan Kuminga may depend on Josh Green, whom they recently acquired. Green has a contract that could allow the Timberwolves to improve their offer from the veteran minimum to approximately $6 million using the taxpayer midlevel exception. As of now, Minnesota cannot aggregate Green's salary with other players for trades due to NBA regulations but could trade him on his own. This situation complicates their efforts as Kuminga's market appears to be narrowing, with the Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers, and Denver Nuggets as the leading suitors. A more lucrative offer for Kuminga could emerge pending Green's trade status.
- •Timberwolves acquired Josh Green from Charlotte in July.
- •Minnesota's current payroll limits offer improvements for Kuminga.
- •Green's trade eligibility restrictions expire on September 10.
- •Cleveland is no longer a primary suitor for Kuminga.
- •Timberwolves are exploring options to enhance their offer.
