According to Espn.com, Veteran shooting guard Kevin Martin and the Minnesota Timberwolves came to terms on a contract buyout in time to beat Tuesday’s midnight ET deadline and keep him playoff-eligible for his next team, Martin confirmed.
Days of protracted talks between the sides ultimately resulted in an agreement that has been submitted for league approval and will position Martin, 33, to be pursued by a number of playoff-bound teams once he clears waivers later this week.
Espn.com reported over the weekend that the San Antonio Spurs have already emerged as strong contenders to sign him.
