“Antonio has the ability to play both guard positions and will provide a veteran presence and added flexibility to our backcourt,” said David Kahn, Timberwolves president of basketball operations. “This trade also provides increased flexibility for personnel moves beginning next summer.”
Daniels, 34, has one year left on his contract, worth $6.6 million.
“It’s a little weird to be traded away and then to come back,” the 6-7 guard-forward said after agreeing to the terms of a one-year contract earlier in the week.
All indications suggest that he will sign for $855,189, the NBA minimum for a player credited with three years of experience. He became an unrestricted free agent after the Minnesota Timberwolves declined picking up his option, which would have been worth $2,539,936.
