Timberwolves coach/president of basketball operations Tom Thibodeau said he intends to sign three more players to a team that will make three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner Jamal Crawford as its 11th player with a guaranteed contract after he clears waivers Monday.
Wolves' Tom Thibodeau still intends to add three players

Thibodeau told WCCO-830 AM Sunday that he'd like to sign two more wing players and a third point guard to join newly signed Jeff Teague and former Apple Valley High star Tyus Jones. But he wants to leave the 15th and final big-league roster spot open to give the team flexibility to make a move later this summer or in the preseason.
The Wolves officially will introduce Teague and veteran forward Taj Gibson at a news conference Monday.
Meanwhile, Perry Ellis (Kansas) scored 19 points in leading the Wolves' Las Vegas Summer League team to a 90-71 victory over Denver. Matt Costello (Michigan State) had 12 points and 15 rebounds. The Wolves are 1-1 in Las Vegas and play Golden State on Tuesday night in their next game.
Instead of relying on the kinds of moves that might be popular with those outside the organization, Finch stuck to the real work of coaching.
