Former Bulls and current Timberwolves head coach Tom Thibodeau is reportedly eyeing to pry unrestricted free agent Joakim Noah away from Chicago when NBA enters offseason this summer. The rumor also coincides with reports of Noah’s purported disillusionment with front office’s inability to turn Bulls’ seemingly declining fortunes in the league.
Minnesota point guard Ricky Rubio has recently dropped hints of leaving Timberwolves if the team cannot make it to the playoffs next season in a recent interview. The 26-year old point guard is currently locked in a $56-million four-year contract that ends in 2019.
Chicago Bulls are torn over what to do with Joakim Noah after a declining season performance following multiple injuries. Nevertheless, there are strong indications that he’ll probably be re-signed given his immense role in leading Chicago players on and off the court.
Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose played in a playoff game for the first time in almost three years.
