The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to strongly pursue a trade for Derrick Rose.
Tom Thibodeau coached Derrick Rose with the Chicago Bulls. Rose will be a free agent this offseason and could be the veteran bridge point guard the Wolves have sought to pair with Kris Dunn.
“Thibs wants to do this,” says a league source.
Minnesota would like to clear the contract of Ricky Rubio from their books.
