Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - The Minnesota Timberwolves waived guard
Martell Webster and traded center Brad Miller to New Orleans in exchange for a
future conditional second round pick on Friday.
Webster appeared in 47 games -- 26 starts -- for Minnesota this season,
averaging 6.9 points and 3.6 rebounds per game.
The seven-year pro has averaged 8.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per game since he
was selected with the sixth overall pick in the first round of the 2005 NBA
Draft by the Portland Trailblazers.
Webster was traded to Minnesota June 24, 2010 in exchange for Ryan Gomes and
the draft rights to Luke Babbitt.
Miller appeared in just 15 games this past season, scoring 2.3 points per
game. The Timberwolves also sent a pair of upcoming second round draft pick to
New Orleans.
The moves come a day after Minnesota designated Darko Millic as the
franchise's amnesty player as the Timberwolves continue to clear salary cap
room in an attempt to complete an offer sheet with Portland forward Nicolas
Batum.
