I don't think MIN buys him out.
He has 2 years left really and he is still playing well.
On top of it, he almost becomes an asset in the last 3 years of that deal. Teams looking to hit cap floor look at that salary and think, wow lets trade for that.
Costing 1-2 million a year but counting 7.5 under the cap works for a lot of teams.
It doesn't really cost them any real money the final 3 years of the deal. If he can still play well 1-2 years, it's hard to see a buyout here. Especially from a small market team.
