Bjelica exercised a $1.3 million clause in his contract with his Turkish team, Fenerbahce Ulker, that allows him to leave for the NBA and he's expected to sign a three-year contract with the Timberwolves, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Bjelica was a second-round pick of the Wizards in the 2010 NBA Draft, but he had his draft rights traded to the Timberwolves on draft night. The 27-year-old averaged 12.1 points, 0.9 three-pointers, 8.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.7 blocks in 28 minutes per game through 29 game with Fenerbahce for the 2014-15 season on his way to winning the 2015 Euroleague MVP Award. His signing will likely result in the T-Wolves trading a big man this summer.
