Timberwolves waive Martell Webster, trade Brad Miller to New Orleans to create room for Batum
He retired but they still owe him money that counts against the cap for the upcoming year. They essentially are trading his contract (which was already bad) to make more room for Batum to come here.

I envision the scene somewhat differently. I imagine White flushed with panic somewhere, his heart beating out of his chest, his knuckles whiten as his hands grip the chair he is sitting in, extra and unnecessary adrenaline coursing through his veins. Most likely on the edge of tears, White is praying and wishing that this debilitating and merciless fear that is quickly overtaking his mind would just leave him alone. “This was supposed to be a new beginning, a fresh start. Why is this happening… why now?” I imagine White asking himself, feeling some combination of agony and anger. For those that have ever felt the cruel clutch of anxiety, they know this scenario isn’t all that far-fetched.vafe2323

He had a chance to practice with the boys this morning and he [got] some significant time tonight. You never know, we might just throw him in the mix this week.”
