Jordan Hill: Waived by Timberwolves

Hill’s contract was non-guaranteed for next season if he was waived before the
end of June, so the move isn’t all that unexpected, especially after the Wolves
acquired Jimmy Butler via trade on draft night. With Butler in tow and under
contract for two more seasons, the Wolves are expected to ramp up their efforts
to return to the postseason, which means clearing as much cap space as possible
to pursue impact free agents this offseason. The 29-year-old Hill appeared in
only seven games for the Wolves in 2016-17 after falling out of favor with coach
Tom Thibodeau early in the year.
