Miller is finalizing a buyout to leave the Timberwolves, according to his agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

Miller, who's in his 17th year in the league, plans to sign with a playoff contender once the buyout is official. He has mostly served as a mentor for the young Timberwolves backcourt this season, and has surrendered court time to rookie Tyus Jones to begin the second half. Should he land with another team, Miller would likely function as little more than emergency depth at point guard.
