Minnesota Timberwolves need to make a decision on Evan Turner
At the trade deadline, the Minnesota Timberwolves acquired Evan Turner in the trade that also brought them Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez.
Once the dust had settled, the Minnesota Timberwolves had a full roster and were about $600,000 over the luxury tax line. The easy fix was to get Evan Turner to agree to a buyout that could not only give them an extra roster spot, but allow them enough wiggle room under the tax to sign two-way players Kelan Martin or Jordan McLaughlin to a standard NBA contract for the rest of the season.
