Jamal Crawford to Sign With Minnesota Timberwolves

Jamal Crawford plans to sign a two-year, $8.9 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves once he clears waivers, league sources told The Vertical.

The second year of the deal is a player option, league sources said.

The three-time Sixth Man of the Year was released by the Atlanta Hawks in a buyout agreement on Friday, and started talks with Minnesota, Washington, Golden State, Cleveland and the Los Angeles Lakers. For Crawford, the opportunity of assuming a sixth-man role for coach Tom Thibodeau held major appeal.
