Could Tom Thibodeau be bringing in yet another one of his ex-Bulls players?

Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN relayed on Wednesday that Nate Robinson was among a group of players working out for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

FAs Nate Robinson, Shawne Williams, and Marcus Thornton were in for looks w/ the #Twolves today. @thedailywolf first on Robinson note.

The 33-year-old Robinson last played in the league during the 2015-16 season, making a total of two appearances for the New Orleans Pelicans before being waived. He has remained vigilant on the comeback trail since then however, publicly lobbying for an NBA roster spot on multiple occasions.

Robinson presumably still carries some appeal as a sparkplug off the bench, and after already acquiring a pair of former Thibs guys this summer in Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson (not to mention a third ex-Bull in Jamal Crawford), bringing in KryptoNate as well would be quite on-brand for the Wolves.
