The Timberwolves are expected to keep Cody Williams, the No. 10 pick in 2024, and waive-and-stretch John Konchar, sources said. They found a home for Josh Green on a Jazz team that wanted an additional 3-and-D wing; moving his $14.7 million deal gives Minnesota the salary space to sign Jonathan Kuminga using the taxpayer midlevel exception.

Shaquille O’Neal says he wanted $150 million to sign with the Lakers, but Jerry West offered $120 million plus movie deals that brought the package to $180 million
“Jerry West met me in a hotel. He said, ‘I got some good news and some bad news.’ I said, ‘What’s the bad news?’ He said, ‘I can’t get you to 150 million you asked for, but I can get you 120 million, and I got some movie deals signed up for you that’ll come out to about 180 million.’ And I said, ‘Shit, let me see the contract.’ He showed me the contract, and I’ve never seen so many zeros in my life”
“My first contract was 40 million. When I seen that 120 million for 7 years with the option after three to renew… And as I’m signing, he puts his hand on my shoulder. He said, ‘Let me tell you something. I just got this kid, in two or three years, you and him are going to win a lot of championships.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, okay,’ because I’m trying to sign. He was talking about Kobe”
