In August, the Warriors officially released Will Bynum.
Signed by the Warriors in the summer of 2005 as an undrafted player, Bynum had been the team's third point guard for the past several seasons.
Standing at 183 cm and weighing 85 kg, Bynum left the Warriors fans with the most profound memory of that flying kick aimed at Parker for Qin Yue during the Western Conference Semifinals.
In the new season, due to the Warriors already having a crowded backcourt, Bynum was doomed to be let go.
However, as things took a turn for the better, as soon as Bynum became a free agent, the Timberwolves offered him a four-year contract worth approximately twelve million US dollars.
The Wolves appreciated Bynum's experience as a two-time championship player.
With Rubio temporarily unable to join the NBA, they urgently needed a point guard to bolster their roster.
Thus, upon parting, Bynum didn't forget to vent to Qin Yue over the phone: "Oh no, I'm really being exiled to Minnesota now."
