New York Knicks president of basketball operations Phil Jackson is reportedly a fan of Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio.
The Wolves and head coach Tom Thibodeau are reportedly interested in Knicks' point guard Derrick Rose as well, so it would come as little surprise if the two sides got a deal done before Thursday's deadline.
Rubio is averaging 8.3 points, 8.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 32.1 minutes per game this season. His -0.2 nERD ranks 206th among the league's 463 players this season and is tied for eighth among Wolves players.
