MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed free agent forward Luol Deng, the latest former Chicago Bulls player to reunite with coach Tom Thibodeau. Deng will join former Bulls teammates Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson and Derrick Rose in Minnesota. Deng debuted with the Bulls as a 19-year-old in 2004, when the native of South Sudan was the seventh overall pick in the draft out of Duke. Deng played 10 seasons for Chicago, including 3½ for Thibodeau, but Minnesota will be his fifth team in six years. Though the assembly of "Timber-Bulls" by Thibodeau has become an internet meme, all of the ex-Chicago veterans have performed well since they arrived in Minnesota.
