Minnesota is exploring the possibility of adding either the two-way talent of Jimmy Butler or Paul George to their talented nucleus while continuing to gauge the market for oft-shopped guard Ricky Rubio, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.
This is definitely a positive development for the Pacers since it seems that leveraging the Lakers with the threat of George being wooed by Cleveland’s contender-status during his one-year layover is no longer a viable option.
It’s unclear how much the Timberwolves would be willing to sacrifice for the opportunity to sell the dynamic wing on the potential opportunity to star long-term alongside Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.
