Garnett’s contract with Wolves is 2 years, $16M

The two-year deal will take him playing into his 40s. During warmups for a summer showcase, Zach LaVine, Andrew Wiggins and the No. 1 draft pick Karl-Anthony Towns put on a spectacle much to the amusement of the crowd.

Kevin Garnett officially signed this afternoon in Las Vegas a two-year contract that at age 39 will pay him $8 million a year to return to both play for and mentor these young Wolves, It was just filed with the league office not long ago while the team continues to finalize a three-year contract worth almost $12 million for European newcomer Nemaja Bjelica.

According to the Courier-Journal, 15,200 fans poured into Target Center for the scrimmage-more than the team’s 14,500 per-game average last season. The Timberwolves are gearing up for the Summer League and to get ready, the team held an open practice at the Target Center and it ended up with a major turnout. The dunk line included defending National Basteball Association Slam dunk Contest victor Zach LaVine.

The Rubio trade likely would happen closer to the deadline and not over the summer if it actually happens, but if injuries happen, teams could check in on his status.

Garnett was acquired in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets last February.
