T’Wolves buy out Bennett

The deck seemed stacked against Anthony Bennett almost from the moment he entered the NBA.

A surprise No. 1 overall pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers in a woeful 2013 draft class thrust expectations on a player still recovering from a major shoulder injury that essentially rendered his rookie season moot.

He was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves last summer, a throw-in to help the Cavs land All-Star forward Kevin Love. Now, Bennett is on the move again.

The Timberwolves placed Bennett on waivers on Wednesday. If he clears as expected, the team has agreed to a US$3.65 million buyout of his contract. If he clears waivers, he may have to sign a minimum salary contract worth US$947,000, thereby forfeiting about US$1 million from his original salary.
