Timberwolves turn attention to big deal for Andrew Wiggins

The Timberwolves introduced three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner Jamal Crawford on Wednesday as their 11th player on a team that still wants to add at least three more players and sign young star Andrew Wiggins to a whopping contract extension by October’s season opener.

Wiggins is eligible to sign one of two five-year maximum “designated” extensions the Wolves are allowed by the league’s new labor agreement for players on their rookie contracts.

The Wolves have until October to complete a negotiation that shouldn’t take all that much negotiating at all if Wiggins accepts a contract that’s expected to approach $150 million.
