In a potential domino from the Ricky Rubio trade, Jordan McLaughlin and his camp are optimistic about signing a multi-year deal with the Timberwolves, a source said Tuesday.
McLaughlin has been a two-way player for the Wolves the last two seasons but played in 81 NBA games and served as the Wolves' backup point guard when there have been injuries ahead of him in the rotation.
McLaughlin's better year was two seasons ago, when he averaged 7.6 points and 4.2 assists per game while shooting 49%. Last season he averaged 5.0 points and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 41%.
