The NBA circulated a memo to all teams before last week's trading deadline projecting a likely salary-cap reduction for next season, but Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor said that won't alter the team's free-agency plan.

"Not for us," Taylor said. "We anticipated all those things and have positioned ourselves really well. That was more for some of the other teams who are right in that border area. That will affect us, but only in a very minor way compared to some other people. We have anticipated that and have built in enough wiggle room so that whatever that figure will be I don't think it will be anything that will take away very many prospects for us."
