Michael Scotto: The Minnesota Timberwolves and Norchad Omier have agreed to a two-way deal, league sources told @hoopshype . Omier averaged 18.3 points on 59.2% shooting from the field, 11.4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in the G League last season.
Varun Shankar: Rockets announce they picked up 4th year option for guard Reed Sheppard. An expected move for the third-year guard.
Jon Krawcynski: The Wolves will not be picking up the option on Cody Williams. From what I understand, they’ve really liked what they’ve seen from him so far. This is much more about finances. He would’ve been due $6M+ next season and that’s a lot to squeeze into a very tight cap situation

Jon Krawcynski: The Timberwolves are exercising the contract options for next season on TJ Shannon and Joan Beringer, a source tells @TheAthletic. No surprise there. Both have played very well early in this season and are big parts of the Wolves future.
Jon Krawczynski: "So remember. last year Anthony Edwards missed All-NBA by just a couple of games because of some injuries that he dealt with. And so, he came into this season needing an MVP or an All-NBA or Defensive Player of the Year award to trigger the ability for the Timberwolves to offer a supermax extension, which would have been a four-year deal in the area of $304 million that would have started in 2029-30 and extended his contract from there. Because he will not meet the games threshold to qualify for that, he could still sign an extension for less money than that, but we don't know exactly how the team and he will approach that, if he'll want to just extend and have some financial security for himself, or if he can go into the following season and try and get an All-NBA honor next season and then get back into the running for the supermax eligibility."
Jake Fischer: Amid the NBA’s string of early-season injuries, the Philadelphia 76ers have applied for a disabled player exception, per source, in respect of Ariel Hukporti’s torn Achilles.
Michael Scotto: The New York Knicks plan to waive two-way forward Kevin McCullar Jr, league sources told @hoopshype. McCullar spent two seasons with the Knicks and got his championship ring on opening night.

Jaden McDaniels' salary rises 53% in 2029-30: The Timberwolves have him at $40 million, up from $26.2 million now. He'd pass $100 million in career earnings in 2027-28, more than Latrell Sprewell made in his whole career.
Eric Pincus: The Timberwolves get a slight discount under the 140% max allowed - about $1.7M; McDaniels locks in that early security, but also gets into that next extension range when he's a 10 YOS player. McDaniels' role should grow w/MIN post-Randle/Naz. Like it for both, but esp. Jaden
Bobby Marks: The Thunder now have 13 out of 14 of their current players under contract for next season. They are also projected to have 3 firsts in next year's draft, including swap rights with the Clippers.
