The Minnesota Timberwolves still have every intention of trading point guard Ricky Rubio in the wake of the Jimmy Butler draft night trade as they search for more shooting, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

Despite gaining an All-Star two-way player in the 6-foot-7 Butler, the team will be in dire need of shooters, having traded a much-improved long-distance bomber in Zach LaVine (38.7 percent in 2.6 three-point field goals made per game).

Rubio, while a stellar floor general and defensive point guard, has shown his shooting to be his Achilles' heel, often struggling to find his rhythm on the floor and being the one player left open on the perimeter.

The Wolves are reportedly looking to be aggressive, chasing the likes of Kyle Lowry, Jeff Teague, George Hill, and Jrue Holiday at the start of free agency in July 1 — all much better perimeter shooters than Rubio.

If they manage to acquire any of the former four, team president and head coach Tom Thibodeau will have his hands full figuring out shot distribution with Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony Towns, and now Butler in the lineup, all hoping to get shots during the game.

In this day and age, getting three All-Star-caliber players is not enough on a loaded Western Conference, making a push for a star-level point guard a rather competitive choice for the Twin Cities.
