– Wolves and Reid were millions apart, even when talks resumed post draft
– Glen Taylor told the FO to just “get it done”
– The ownership group was adamant that they couldnt let Naz hit free agency. They, alongside Finch and Connelly met and accepted they could not allow Naz to leave
– Naz is a favourite of the Taylor family. They watched him grow up from fatty to fitty in front of their eyes
– Talks with Naz started almost immediately after Connelly was hired
– They paid Naz more than they initially wanted to AAV. The clock on the 3 big men experiment has started to tick for Connelly and co to make their long term decision
Half of the article is Jon and the players waxing lyrical about how awesome Naz is. Top tier Naz content. And talking about the memes Read it

Knowing that Glen was involved to this magnitude makes me queasy about this signing

Glen Taylor W. He catches a lot of flack for the Wiggins deal but it was the right move.

I can’t stand his writing or speaking style. He writes/speaks so many words but they really tell you nothing. A lot of his “reporting” feels like straight up PR for the team.
He even tweets out promos for camps held by back bench Wolves staffers. His character assassination of Russell after he was out the door that Jon claimed was not a criticism of Russell was gross. I get reporters need to feed their families but I don’t really trust much of what he says. It seems like what he knows he doesn’t say until he gets “permission” to(see Russell behind the scenes story) and what he does say is just rehashing the same fan controversies.

Even if I like this particular signing, I am uncomfortable that the ownership group pressures the GM on basketball related decisions.
Leave the basketball to the basketball guy.
This might explain other bad decisions throughout the organization’s tenure.

Man this was obviously true last year but even more true this year
we have the best center rotation in the league and it’s nowhere near close

Glen doing something good?

How many centers do they need?

the owner meddling in gm decisions 😅 maybe that explains the gobert trade ?

Anyone who watched this guy play last season would tell you we keep him around.

I can’t wait for Naz Reid to get pulled over in Louisiana with weed in the car so I can call him Naz Weid

People interpreting this as Glen forcing their hand instead of (hopefully) just saying ownership is on board if we need to go slightly above the original offer. I will choose the latter. Keeping Naz gives us flexibility to make a move with KAT or Gobert in the near term. Without him around there’s suddenly a dearth of frontcourt talent with an injury or trade of those two.
