Timberwolves have 4 roster spots open. They have hinted at the possibility of only filling 3 to give themselves flexibility. Because of their cap situation (they have used up all cap space and their Mid-Level Exception) they will need to fill the remaining spots at the league minimum.
They also only have 1 wing player (Jamal Crawford) on the bench behind Butler/Wiggins. They need more depth there. Local paper mentioned they need a wing who can be a "3 and D" guy for the league minimum. Cooke could be that guy...or at least as good as any other league minimum guy.
