The Timberwolves are trading Josh Green and cash to the Jazz for Cody Williams and John Konchar, sources told ESPN.
Minnesota is expected to keep Williams, the No. 10 pick in 2024, and waive-and-stretch Konchar, according to sources. Saturday is the final day to waive a player and stretch his guaranteed salary over multiple seasons.
Waiving and stretching Konchar's salary spreads $2.05 million across three straight years. Doing so allows the Timberwolves to sign a 15th player on the roster and gives them more apron flexibility during the season.
The Timberwolves discussed multiple trade scenarios for Green in order to sign newly acquired forward Jonathan Kuminga using the taxpayer midlevel exception. They found a home for him with the Jazz, who wanted an additional 3-and-D wing.
Moving Green's $14.7 million deal gives Minnesota the salary space to complete signing Kuminga to a two-year, $12.4 million contract.
