The NBA has entered the finals stage, and the eliminated teams have also begun plans for the next season, including signings, layoffs, drafts and other operations. Recently, the Golden State Warriors have taken a fancy to the Timberwolves' substitute inside Reed and want to introduce to make up for their shortcomings in the inside. The Warriors' failure in the playoffs was mostly due to the inside problem. Although they had dreams and Looney, they still couldn't solve the inside offense and frontcourt rebounding problems, which was due to their insufficient size.

If the Warriors can introduce Reed, many of the inside difficulties encountered by the Warriors this year's playoffs will be solved. Although Reed is a substitute for the Timberwolves, he is an absolute main rotation player. He has made an indelible contribution to helping the Timberwolves play until the Western Conference Finals. However, the Timberwolves' inside line is still relatively crowded, with Gobert and Randall already. Among them, Randall's contract renewal is a foregone conclusion, so the Timberwolves may give up Reed.

The Timberwolves have multiple players, and this summer is the player option, and several players have their contracts expired, so I guess they can't keep Reed. Reed's contract next season is a player option, and many people believe that Reed will jump out of the contract and become a free agent and join a team that can help him win the championship to increase his value. If it is a team that cannot win the championship, Reed may choose a larger contract, so if Reed is obtained, the Warriors face great competition. Reed's defensive and rebounding abilities are very suitable for the Warriors, especially the shooting abilities are very suitable for the Warriors system.

The biggest opponent is the traditional powerful Los Angeles Lakers. After Davis left the team, they also need to find a strong inside. Although the Warriors and Lakers don’t have much salary space, the probability of winning the championship is still relatively high, and Reed may consider it.
