Anthony Bennet has reached a buyout agreement with the Minnesota Timberwolves that will allow him to play somewhere else this season.

He'll need to go through the waiver process before being able to choose his destination, however, and there are a couple of teams that may look into claiming him -- one of which is the 76ers.

Yahoo Sports:

The Sixers may make some sense, because they could give Bennett the playing time to try to develop him into an asset. Since that's what he's seeking by agreeing to this buyout in the first place, it's a match that could make sense for both sides.

Bennett was the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, but has failed to develop into even a serviceable rotation player at this point in his career. He averaged 5.2 points and 3.8 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per contest for the Timberwolves last season.
