Overview
- The Timberwolves and Jazz reportedly agreed to a trade that sends veteran wing Josh Green and cash to Utah in exchange for former No. 10 pick Cody Williams and Jon Konchar.
- Minnesota plans to keep Williams as a developmental wing and to waive-and-stretch Konchar to spread his cap hit and free additional payroll room.
- The transaction is driven by salary math: Spotrac figures show Green is due about $14.7 million for 2026–27 while Williams and Konchar combined project at roughly $12.2 million, creating the space Minnesota needs for roster moves.
- Cody Williams was the 2024 No. 10 pick out of Colorado who struggled as a rookie before posting clearer improvement in his sophomore season, and Utah moved him after deciding he did not fit their long-term rotation.
- The Jazz add Green to bolster 3-and-D wing depth off the bench while Minnesota gains a young swing option and creates the cap flexibility to sign the reported Kuminga deal.
