Jaylen Nowell, Wolves not close to an extension deal?

I’m really excited for the edition of our Next Contract series on @spotrac. Instead of looking at guys looking at a max extension (or holding off on a max deal), I wrote about two young players who are extension-eligible: Jaylen Nowell and Naz Reid.

More on this storyline

Darren Wolfson: The Wolves have had extension talks with Nowell going back months. They made multiple offers in June. Didn’t come close with Nowell. He never even like considered signing on the dotted line. The Wolves first offer or multiple first offers… they were in June. That doesn’t need to be the Wolves’ final offer. So the Wolves can sign Noel to an extension anytime during the season. -via Spotify / October 30, 2022
Dane Moore: Chris Finch at practice Wednesday on Jaylen Nowell’s role this season: “His role is going to be kind of that x-factor off the bench. He’s done that for us in the past, as you know, but now we’ll have a consistent role for it.” -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / September 29, 2022
