NEW ORLEANS – The Timberwolves bought out Andre Miller's expiring contract and waived the veteran guard on Thursday, the same day team owner Glen Taylor said he'd be "open" to doing the same with Kevin Martin.
Miller's one-year contract he signed for the NBA's veteran minimum $1.5 million salary will expire this summer, so the transaction allows the 39-year-old to join as a team aimed at the playoffs if he clears waivers on Saturday.
Players must be waived by 11 p.m. Central time Tuesday in order for them to play for another team in the playoffs.
