Utah Jazz free agent forward Tom Gugliotta has spoken with Minnesota Timberwolves Vice President of Basketball Operations Kevin McHale about returning to the Timberwolves. McHale has received the go-ahead from owner Glen Taylor.

Gugliotta earned $9 million last year to play 14.9 minutes a game in 55 games with the Jazz and Phoenix Suns, averaging 2.9 points.

Gugliotta would sign a veteran's minimum contract with the Timberwolves, costing them only $600,000, with the league picking up another $400,000 of a total $1 million tab.
