Wolves contemplate Deng, other free agents for final two roster spots

With training camp fewer than three weeks away, the Wolves have had discussions with veteran free-agent forward Luol Deng and as least eight other free agents to fill one or two of their remaining roster spots, according to two league sources.

The Wolves had former Timberwolf Corey Brewer, shooter Nick Young and veteran guard Arron Afflalo in for workouts Wednesday and have perhaps as many as five more scheduled through next week.

They'd probably have more, but some agents are reluctant to send their clients to Minneapolis for a workout because they believe the Wolves will end up signing Deng, who played for Wolves coach Tom Thibodeau in Chicago and completed a contract settlement with the Los Angeles Lakers last week.
