Timberwolves' Rasual Butler: Signs camp deal with Wolves

Butler signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Timberwolves on Thursday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

Butler will now attempt to make the Wolves' final roster out of training camp, potentially filling the void left by Kevin Garnett, who is reportedly working toward a contract settlement with Minnesota. In each of the last three seasons, Butler has begun the year on a non-guaranteed or partially guaranteed contract and has been able to earn his way onto the roster for the Pacers (2013-14), Wizards (2014-15) and Spurs (2015-16). Last season, Butler appeared in 46 games for San Antonio, averaging 2.7 points and 1.2 rebounds in 9.4 minutes per game. As he enters his age-37 season, Butler is unlikely to provide more than veteran bench depth for the Timberwolves, should he ultimately make the roster.
