The REAL REASON the Timberwolves extended Jaden McDaniels...

The real reason the Timberwolves extended Jaden McDaniels, now when Shams broke this news last night, I was actually surprised, but after digging into it, it totally makes sense for Jaden and of course, the young nucleus of this Minnesota Timberwolves team, I guess one of the things I want to say is well done once again, Tim Connelly, welcome back to the Timberwolves Digest. As always, North America, I'm Dave DuBois, and I bring you the latest Minnesota Timberwolves news, trade reports, trade rumors, and of course, a whole lot of commentary. You know, we are right now just one sleep away from the start of the Timberwolves season and I don't know about you but I am super excited about that hey if you are new to the Timberwolves Digest please go ahead and subscribe and I always like to say if you like the pod well then go ahead and like the pod all right so we're going to get into the deal and the specifics of the deals to actually sign Jaden McDaniels for a one year an additional year on the back side of his contract. Now, I do want to point out that he is essentially in this one extra year will make around just under $14 million more for that single year than he was currently on the books to make with his current contract. And when you think about this Minnesota Timberwolves organization, And you think about Tim Connelly and you think about head coach Chris Finch. I believe that this Timberwolves organization is in an extraordinarily good space when it comes to who's actually running the day-to-day operations of the team and, of course, who's actually coaching the team. So here's a little bit more detail that you can see. Now, he'll have four years remaining on his contract, and that will amount to $124 million. And when we think about why Jaden McDaniels actually got this contract extension at this point, I'm going to pull this back up for you. Is Jaden essential to a Wolves title? I want to know what you think about that, because personally, I believe a healthy Jaden McDaniels who continues to take the trajectory up in the right direction is going to make an absolutely huge difference for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Coming up, I've got key takeaways on why this deal really makes sense for both Jaden and the Timberwolves. So, do you all know what actually ruins a great outfit? Well, the answer to that question is an old, beat-up belt that quite frankly hasn't fit right in years. That's why I'm super excited today to have Anson Belt and Buckle as the sponsor of today's video. instead of holes Anson uses a micro adjustable track system with quarter inch increments so your belt fits perfectly every single time and i am telling you right now once you experience that kind of fit and comfort trust me you'll never want to go back to wearing a regular belt again Now, I've been wearing mine nonstop since I got it, and honestly, it is the best belt that I've actually ever had. Once you try it, trust me, you'll never go back to your old belts again, and if you're wondering why you should trust them, well, this is a company that's still proudly family owned and operated and has earned over 40 000 five-star reviews like this one from Chad M they back their belts with a lifetime guarantee on functionality they stand behind every product they make and once you get one you'll see why and because Anson Belt and Buckle is sponsoring today's video when you click the link in the description or scan the QR code to build a box set you'll get two bonus pieces a buckle and a strap completely free that's three buckles three straps which can be mixed and matched into nine unique belt combos all in one box it's an exclusive deal you won't get anywhere else so click the link build your set and upgrade your belt game today so this is a report coming from Chad Kresinski he says at the root of it all it was his desire to remain with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the rest of his career if possible and when we think about the growth of Jaden McDaniels over the past couple years that certainly makes a lot of sense just a quick refresher for everybody out there on what Jaden has delivered from a numbers perspective at least last season and I think where we all think this is actually heading with Jaden McDaniels is that he's going to continue to improve and when you have a player like Jaden McDaniels that can actually shoot north of 41 percent from the three-point arc it absolutely matters that you go ahead and lock him up look he's uh takes difficult wing matchups provides rim consistency and will certainly support the scoring backcourt we've got some more takeaways about this particular deal for you all as well just to recap what this is 40 million for the 2029 30 season four years 124 million remaining extension has of course been confirmed by the Timberwolves organization at this point in addition to that there are these complementary components of Jada McDaniels that quite frankly make a lot of sense for this minnesota timberwolves team edwards scoring pressure ball passing and creation and then of course mcdaniel's defense and spacing and when you combine that with the other aspects of this minnesota timberwolves team i think this deal is absolutely brilliant especially on the near eve of the nba season actually it was on the eve of the nba season actually tipping off as it tips off today look what you can expect from Jaden in the upcoming season more catch and shoot looks part of that of course is from LaMelo Ball and after seeing what Jaden looked like during the preseason I think this deal certainly makes a lot of sense more cuts behind defenders we saw a lot of that as well during the preseason and maybe one of the other things that is quite frankly just so important for this Minnesota team is better spacing for Anthony Edwards and I think when you combine that with what Jaden is capable of doing on the defensive side of the ball this deal certainly made a tremendous amount of sense for the Timberwolves of course from a salary cap math perspective as you all know we are in just below the second apron at this point which of course is where we're going to want to stay and this deal actually helps solidify what the Timberwolves organization is going to be for another four or five years i think it certainly makes a lot of sense especially when you consider at some point you're gonna have to consider what that next Ant-Man contract is actually going to look like all right that's all i've got for you today i personally absolutely love this love to get your thoughts your opinions North America please go ahead and drop them in as always for the Timberwolves Digest just one slip away i'm Dave Dubois wishing you all a tremendous rest of your sports viewing day
