For as much attention is being paid to Timberwolves head coach and front office boss Tom Thibodeau’s apparent infatuation with bringing in as many former Chicago Bulls players as possible, the Wolves are apparently at least doing their due diligence with a handful of other remaining veteran free agents.
It is, of course, entirely fair to react to the most recent rumors surround Luol Deng (who is a free agent) and the Knicks’ Joakim Noah (who is not) with some combination of “here we go again” and jokes about refusing to think outside the box.
TimberBulls jokes are finally getting old, but it’s hard to fault folks for thinking that things will end up with a lineup that looks more like the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals Bulls squad than any team that should be taking the floor in 2018.
