We have already seen the Minnesota Timberwolves that this season makes various large contract extension decisions that showed us a lot about their view of certain players and their place in this team. Now that DiVincenzo is also eligible for an extension, the decision to offer him a new deal is a bit complicated.
Looking at the wage list of the wolves, Divincenzo is currently under contract until the end of the 2026-27 season. With two more seasons of salary guaranteed, it is not a situation in which Minnesota must now make a decision. But as we know, the best front offices make decisions a few years in advance to be a step for their competition.
Donte will owe $ 24.4 million in the course of the following two seasons. That is a very reasonable price tag for a man who only continues to prove his value in this competition as a sniper and a high -level defender.
He will be very affordable for the next two years, but he can also praise himself from the Timberwolves budget. That is the unfortunate reality when you talk about these things.
Divincenzo can praise itself from the Timberwolves budget
It is usually a double -edged sword because you want the man to play well to make your team perform well. But if he starts to win too much market value for a new contract, he can praise himself from your long -term plans. It can be a pretty slippery slope.
Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened to Nickeil Alexander-Walker from the moment he arrived with the wolves in February 2023 until he signed at the Atlanta Hawks this summer. He came in with such a low value and exceeded his contract enormously than a new, larger payment day.
To make things difficult, Divincenzo currently has to deal with a recurring injury to his toe, the same one who kept him outside for a long-term piece of Minnesota’s season in 2024-25. We have no idea what that will do for his constant improvement, or how long it will keep him from hardwood.
If you want my opinion, I would say that this season this would be a pretty effective barometer for the question of whether the Timberwolves should go fast after a new deal for Divincenzo. If he can quickly deny the effects of his injury and play basketball again at a high level, it would be worth the time to be worth the time of Minnesota to get their husbands back in the city for the long term.
