Knicks still showing significant interest in Minnesota's Ricky Rubio

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio is still a "significant target" for the New York Knicks as Thursday afternoon's trade deadline approaches, per The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.

What It Means:

The Wolves have also expressed some interest in Knicks' point guard Derrick Rose, so there's serious potential for a deal to get done that includes swapping the guards.

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.
