During the Timberwolves press conference on Wednesday, Tom Thibodeau had this to say about a trade:
"We’re not going to get into specific players. You hear a lot of trade rumors and things of that nature. We’re always looking to improve our club, if we feel there is somebody we can add and improve in certain areas. But we’re always looking to get better."
Scott Layden later added:
"In all likelihood, the picks are so valuable at this time of year that you end up wanting to keep the pick, but we’re leaving all options open."
