The Minnesota Timberwolves traded Josh Green to the Utah Jazz for Cody Williams and John Konchar late Friday night. With this move, the Timberwolves clear cap space needed after signing Jonathan Kuminga. They opted for a trade rather than waiving Green, potentially avoiding significant dead cap. Williams, a former lottery pick, has struggled in the NBA but showed promise late last season, averaging 16 points per game over the final 19 games. The Timberwolves plan to waive Konchar, creating further roster flexibility.
