UPDATE:<\/div>\n
From Marc J. Spears\/Yahoo! Sports: <\/a><\/div>\n
Another source indicated that the team\u2019s chances might even be better than that.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are becoming much more optimistic that they are going to get him,\u201d an Eastern Conference executive told Yahoo! Sports.<\/em><\/p>\n

The source in Rubio\u2019s camp said it would behoove the Timberwolves to move swiftly in trying to secure Rubio, as there also is strong interest in him from international teams, and Rubio is expected to make a decision soon.<\/em><\/p>\n

While not divulging Rubio\u2019s preference, the source added that the Timberwolves\u2019 choice for their next coach among ABC NBA analyst Mark Jackson, Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Kurt Rambis and Houston Rockets assistant coach Elston Turner also will factor into Rubio\u2019s decision as to whether to join Minnesota. The team is expected to hire a coach as early as Friday or as late as Monday, a source has told Yahoo! Sports. Jackson is being viewed as the front-runner for the position.
