Jason Terry has drawn some interests on young teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Milwaukee Bucks as they look to build around their young cores as they move forward in the upcoming NBA seasons.
Minnesota Timberwolves' 2016-2017 NBA Season

They have also added All-Star forward Jimmy Butler to the core as they acquired him in a trade with the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Zach Lavine, Kris Dunn, and the number seven pick of the 2017 NBA draft.
Although the Timberwolves did not have an ideal 2016-2017 NBA season wherein they finished with a 31-51 record and extending their playoff drought. The Minnesota Timberwolves are looking to make a giant leap forward this upcoming NBA season after they have made great moves after great moves this offseason.
Milwaukee Bucks' 2016-2017 NBA Season
The Milwaukee Bucks is led by All-Star forward Giannis "Greek Freak" Antetokounmpo, former number two pick Jabari Parker, and the 2017 NBA Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon.
