Naz Reid Rumors

Barry Jackson: This gives Wolves more flexibility in Giannis Antetokounmpo pursuit. If Bucks ownership decides they don't want a long rebuild and want to be moderately competitive with Julius Randle, Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid and no picks, this would be best HYPOTHETICAL PLAYER offer among 4 reported primary

While teams across the league have called on Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, and Donte DiVincenzo, league sources say, the Timberwolves have highly valued those players and are resistant to parting with them. McDaniels has been deemed virtually untouchable unless it was for a star such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, league sources told HoopsHype.

Another trade partner for the Bulls to keep an eye on is the Timberwolves. They have star guard Anthony Edwards and his supporting cast of center Rudy Gobert and forwards Julius Randle, Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid locked up for at least the next three seasons, but they have been shopping for a combo guard to play off Edwards, especially in the fourth quarter of games. The Sun-Times reported last month that the teams talked about a deal for White, but the Timberwolves also have inquired about Ayo Dosunmu and Tre Jones, too.

Dane Moore: Thought that might have been the Wolves best game of the season outside of their win over OKC - Had a serious, detailed approach all night - The 3 best players all had good games in the same game (Ant had 33, was potent offensively; Randle had 23-10-4, filling in where Ant needed; Gobert had 13 and 12, was a force all night) - Overcame Gobert foul trouble without cratering defensively - Good ball and body movement for the majority of the night (even against the Miami zone) - Naz and Bones gave real sparks off the bench - DiVincenzo didn't shoot well but clearly impacted the game (was a team-high +24) - Not much from McDaniels or Clark (but MIA doesn't really have a point of attack guy that McDaniels and Clark are typically sent at) Wolves 125, Heat 115

Little by little, the real Naz Reid is emerging. He put up 22 points and 12 rebounds in 22 minutes in a 120-96 wipeout of the reeling Dallas Mavericks on Monday night, two nights after he had 19 points in a loss to the Denver Nuggets. “He’s a starter coming off the bench for us. He’s one of the best bigs in the league,” said Donte DiVincenzo, who scored 14 points and was a plus-35 in 26 minutes. “The way he can space the floor, the way he can handle the ball, it gives us such a unique wrinkle to what we can do. We can play him with so many different guys.”

He looked at the bench’s soft performance in the first 10 games as a personal indictment. He is proud of what he has done here, proud of the folk hero status he has earned in the fan base. Now 26 years old, he has taken it upon himself to mentor the younger players in the second unit, such as Rob Dillingham, Jaylen Clark, and Terrence Shannon Jr. “This is my group, and this is what we have to do,” Reid said. “I know what I have to do to get us going, whether it’s keeping the score going up towards the positive side, or getting the lead back. It’s how I became who I am, and how I became Sixth Man, and put myself in those (positions). So I know what it takes, and I’ve got to lead.”

The Jackson man accused of murdering the sister of a national basketball star agreed Sept. 18 to be held in jail without bail to await trial in the matter. Shaquille Green, 29, told Superior Court Judge Wendel E. Daniels at a brief, virtual hearing that he voluntarily decided to forego a hearing to determine if he would be released, and instead agreed to remain at the Ocean County Jail. Green is charged with the murder Sept. 6 of Toraya Reid, 28, of Jackson, with whom he had a dating relationship, according to authorities.

The sister of Minnesota Timberwolves player Naz Reid was fatally shot at a New Jersey apartment complex this weekend, and authorities said Monday that her boyfriend has been charged with murder. Police went to the Paragon apartment complex in Jackson around 11 a.m. Saturday after receiving reports of shots fired. They soon found Toraya Reid, 28, unresponsive near the complex's exit, and she apparently had been shot multiple times, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said.
