The Minnesota Timberwolves are in the running to snap up former All-Star forward Luol Deng.
According to The New York Times‘ Marc Stein (via Twitter) and Shams Charania of The Athletic (via Twitter), the Wolves plan to pursue the 14-year NBA veteran, who becomes a free agent next week.
The Los Angeles Lakers waived Deng just over two years after signing him to a four-year, $72 million free-agent contract.
Deng didn’t have a great year with the Lakers. His best years in the NBA came when he was a member of the Chicago Bulls playing under coach Tom Thibodeau – who is now the Timberwolves coach.
