The Minnesota Timberwolves carry $213,345,684 in salary for 2026-27, the 5th largest payroll in the league.
That is $50.4M over the $165.0M salary cap, so the roster gets built through exceptions, re-signings and trades rather than cap space.
They are $15.0M over the $200.4M luxury-tax line, and at that payroll the tax bill projects to $23,600,394 — a combined cost of $236,946,078.
Above the first apron at $209.0M, they lose the non-taxpayer mid-level, cannot take back more salary than they send out in a trade, and cannot acquire a player by sign-and-trade. They stay +$4.5M clear of the second apron.
They are hard-capped at the 2nd Apron ($221.7M), a ceiling the payroll cannot cross for the rest of the season by any means.
This team has 14 players on standard contracts and 3 two-way deals.
Anthony Edwards is the largest cap hit on the roster at $48,924,624, 22.9% of team payroll, ahead of LaMelo Ball ($41.2M) and Rudy Gobert ($36.5M).
They have $17,350,158 of spending power available across 2 exceptions, the largest a $10.8M TPE (Mike Conley Jr.).
Committed salary drops to $204,883,078 for 2027-28, held by 10 players still under contract, against a projected $176,000,000 cap.
One of their future draft picks is frozen and cannot be traded (2032).
