The Minnesota Timberwolves could enter next year's training camp with a new man at the point.

Should Minnesota find a suitable trade partner for Ricky Rubio, the Timberwolves have interest in unrestricted free agents Jrue Holiday, Jeff Teague, and George Hill, Darren Wolfson of ESPN 1500 reports.

While the Pelicans have expressed interest in re-signing Holiday, there is a "growing sentiment" that the 6-foot-4 guard will leave New Orleans if he's offered max money from another team.

Hill is coming off of a strong season, averaging a career-high 16.9 points on 47.7 percent shooting for the Utah Jazz. After struggling in the early going, Teague became an important part of the Indiana Pacers' success this season, averaging 15.3 points and 7.8 assists, while starting all 82 games.

Reports surfaced earlier this month that the Knicks have interest in trading for Rubio after failing to land the 26-year-old point guard at this year's deadline.

Minnesota is reportedly also interested in signing Derrick Rose, who won the MVP award in 2010-11 under former Bulls and current Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau.
