John Konchar is poised to become a free agent Monday at 5 PM ET after clearing waivers. The Wolves are using the stretc Via @TheSteinLine on X

What happened: Konchar cleared waivers after Minnesota acquired him in the deal that sent Josh Green out. The stretch provision creates the financial room needed to officially sign Jonathan Kuminga.

Why it matters: The maneuver clears the final obstacle to Kuminga's reported two-year, $13 million agreement. Its second season carries a player option.

By the numbers: Konchar's roughly $6.17 million cap hit will be divided into charges of about $2.06 million over three years.

What to watch: Konchar can begin negotiating with teams Monday evening. Minnesota can then proceed with Kuminga's formal signing.
