Naz Reid won the NBA ’s Sixth Man of the Year award last season .

The Minnesota Timberwolves can't offer him an extension until June 25, 2025 .

CBA regulations limit veteran extensions to 140% of the last salaried year .

The Wolves can keep Reid next summer , even if he opts out of his last year and the aforementioned $15 million .

The 140% extension limit isn't helping teams and isn’t helping players.

Only one All-Star caliber player has signed an extension under the new rule.

The salary cap is on the threshold of exploding 10% annually due to the new TV deal.

The Wolves and Bulls would unquestionably love to have the option to extend their players and not risk them entering free agency.
