The summer has officially begun for the Timberwolves with point guard Troy Hudson has opting out of the final year of his contract to test free agency.

Hudson's agent Bill Neff said he informed Wolves general manager and vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale of the expected decision Wednesday.

"It doesn't preclude us from going back [to Minnesota]," Neff said.

A Timberwolves spokesman said team officials weren't available for comment.

"If they're aggressive with him, they have a shot," Neff said.
