As had been anticipated, the Timberwolves officially pulled the qualifying offer they sent to Shabazz Muhammad, Chris Haynes of ESPN tweets. Now the swingman will hit the market as an unrestricted free agent.
Earlier today we wrote about how the Taj Gibson signing has impacted the situation in Minnesota. As a result, Muhammad’s representation didn’t waste any time informing other teams of his client’s anticipated status change.
Muhammad has seen his role decrease slightly over the course of the last two seasons and that would have inevitably continued in 2017/18 with Jimmy Butler now on board.
Still just 24-year-old, Muhammad should have no trouble finding suitors after nearly posting a third-consecutive season with double-digit points per game. Per 36 minutes, he averaged 18.3 points and 5.2 rebounds.
Nice!
nets better jump on this
I could see him landing in Indiana as someone that can help fill the void left by George
Would be good pick up for Indiana
He’d be a good pick up for a lot of teams at the right price
Idk why but I keep thinking he’ll go to Phoenix
They have Warren, Jackson and Dudley along with some developmental projects in Jones, Reed, and Millsap.
He will be unavailable within the next 48hrs.
Yep. Another UCLA alum about to play in LA.
This dude is an excellent distributor lol
He should receive phone calls from at least 20 teams. They, “should kick the tires.”
Nets, Pacers, Bucks, Pelicans in that order
