Lakers, Timberwolves agree to new player contracts

The deal covers multiple seasons and will be finalized after the team completes additional roster moves. The agreement comes as the team works to build around two players who have similar offensive roles. The roster currently includes several players under contract for the next season without options.

Timberwolves re-sign player The Minnesota Timberwolves agreed to a five-year contract worth $112 million with a player option in the final year. The player had been acquired earlier in the season through a trade. The new contract represents a significant increase from the player's previous earnings.

Team officials cited the player's performance during the regular season and playoffs as a factor in the decision. The player is expected to fill a role in the backcourt or as a reserve, depending on future roster changes. Advanced statistics show mixed results in prior seasons, though recent performance improved.

Wizards reach deal with player The Washington Wizards agreed to a four-year contract worth $212 million with a player option in the final year. The player had been acquired by the team earlier in the year. The contract will make the player one of the higher-paid players in the league on an annual basis.

Performance data shows the player has maintained assist numbers but experienced changes in shooting percentages over recent seasons.
