While the Wolves wait on answers back from such players as Dante Cunningham and Shabazz Muhammad, they also work to fill vacancies in their front office/scouting/coaching staffs.
According to league sources, they'll add John Lucas III as a player-development coach and former Indiana University senior assistant coach Tim Buckley to their scouting department.
Top assistant to former Hoosiers coach Tom Crean, Buckley will primarily scout colleges.
Lucas played point guard for Tom Thibodeau in Chicago and started the season for the Wolves a year ago before he was waived.
New Orleans has been aggressive trying to bring Cunningham back, particularly now that Solomon Hill is expected to miss much of the season after he underwent surgery to repair a torn hamstring.
