NBA Salary Cap History Sees Largest Guarantee
Minnesota Timberwolves Cap Concerns
Timberwolves Salary Cap Concerns
The NBA salary cap has seen its largest guarantee in history, with the Minnesota Timberwolves being one of the teams most affected. The salary cap for the 2023-24 season is $136,021,000, and the Timberwolves are currently over that amount. Three of the five biggest cap hits on the Timberwolves roster belong to centers with Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns alone combining for more than $77 million.
The Timberwolves went 19 seasons between playoff series victories, tied for the third-longest span between series wins in NBA history. They finally broke through last season, but they were eliminated in the first round by the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Timberwolves are hoping to make a deeper playoff run this season, but they will need to figure out their salary cap situation. They could trade one of their big men, but that would be a difficult decision to make. Gobert is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, and Towns is a three-time All-Star. Both players are still in their prime, and they could be key pieces for the Timberwolves in the future.
For now, the Timberwolves are over the salary cap and they will need to make some tough decisions if they want to improve their team.
