Shabazz Muhammad happy at home as a Timberwolf
SAN DIEGO – One of many players convinced the NBA’s milk and honey would flow forever or for at least another year, Shabazz Muhammad is back with the Timberwolves for a fifth pro season, playing on a league minimum contract after he turned down tens of millions of dollars from them last fall.
The NBA’s new $24 billion television contract produced unrestrained free-agent spending by some teams in summer of 2016. But just one year later, the spigot dripped dry for many players, including Muhammad, who were left mulling only one-year offers from salary-cap strapped teams.
