The Minnesota Timberwolves are starting to assume that they can not count on Ricky Rubio this next season. After the trip he made David Kahn, 'general manager' of the team went to Spain to negotiate with DKV Joventut, and the Timberwolves have signed a new transfer.
The Minnesota franchise have traded for the basic services of veteran Chucky Atkins, from the Oklahoma Thunder, at 34 years old will be point guard substitute of the team if not finally cut. At the same time, he could act as ' Mentor'to Jonny Flynn, who is emerging as a point guard holder.
At the handover, Minnesota has sent to Oklahoma Etan Thomas and two second rounds of the next 'Draft' and has received to the guards Atkins and Damien Wilkins.
Last season, Atkins averaged 4 points in 16 minutes per game with the Thunder. His contract is only partially protected, so the Wolves could cut him at any time.
Etan Thomas will finish his run with the Thunders. Damien Wilkins' contract also ends at the end of this season.
