The Minnesota Timberwolves have already had a big offseason, acquiring forward Jimmy Butler and swapping in Jeff Teague for Ricky Rubio at point guard. But even with those changes, the T-Wolves might not be finished revamping their roster.

Still devoid of a legitimate outside shooter, Minnesota is reportedly interested in the services of shooting guard Nick Young, according to Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News.

Minnesota isn't limiting itself to just Young, though. The Timberwolves have also inquired about 31-year-old wingman Gerald Green, according to Darren Wolfson of KSTP Minneapolis.

Young would likely serve the Timberwolves better as a pure 3-point shooter. The 32-year-old is coming off a resurgent 2016-17 campaign in which he averaged 13.2 points and shot 40.4 percent from deep.

Green, on the other hand, has seen his scoring drop in four consecutive seasons, averaging just 5.6 points per game last year with the Boston Celtics.

Young's believed to have a number of suitors, as the Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City Thunder, and New Orleans Pelicans have all been reported as possible landing spots.
