Wolves buy out former #1 pick Anthony Bennett
Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft, has reached agreement on a contract buyout with the Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Bennett has to clear waivers in the next 48 hours to become an unrestricted free agent. Four teams have the salary cap space or the trade exception necessary to absorb Bennett's $5.8 million contract: the Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz.
Bennett, a 6-foot-8 forward, was a shocking choice as the No. 1 overall pick by the Cavaliers in 2013, and immediately struggled with weight and injuries. There was no team in the top 10 that had plans of selecting Bennett had he dropped to them. Nevertheless, Bennett has shown enough potential to become a serviceable forward and could easily be claimed off waivers.Full story on Yahoo
