The Minnesota Timberwolves have pursued trades of starting point guard Ricky Rubio for the past two years and on Friday before free agency began, they finally made their move. The Wolves dealt Rubio to the Utah Jazz in exchange for Oklahoma City's 2018 first-round pick. The move signals that the Wolves intend to pursue George Hill, Kyle Lowry, Jeff Teague or Derrick Rose in free agency, and that the Jazz won't be able to retain Hill, which could impact their ability to re-sign Gordon Hayward.
