The Minnesota Timberwolves waived seven-year veteran John Konchar on Saturday following a trade that sent him to the Utah Jazz. Konchar became available after the team finalized a transaction involving the acquisition of Cody Williams and John Konchar in exchange for Josh Green and cash considerations. As a free agent, Konchar is now eligible to sign with any franchise. The New York Knicks currently hold two open roster spots and are viewed as a potential destination for the veteran.
