Timberwolves trade for Cody Williams to finalize Jonathan Kuminga signing

The Minnesota Timberwolves completed a trade with the Utah Jazz to secure financial flexibility for the signing of Jonathan Kuminga. Minnesota sent Josh Green and cash to Utah in exchange for Cody Williams and John Konchar. Following the transaction, the team moved to waive and stretch the salary of Konchar. This maneuver allows the organization to accommodate the two-year, $13 million deal agreed upon with Kuminga. Kuminga is expected to join a projected starting lineup that features Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels, and Rudy Gobert. The team intends to retain Williams, the No. 10 pick in the 2024 draft, as part of its ongoing roster development.
