Flip Saunders is finally considering coaching the Minnesota Timberwolves himself for the 14-15 NBA season.

Saunders has been searching for a replacement for Rick Adelman throughout the offseason.

Dave Joerger appeared to be close to the job, but ultimately signed an extension with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Saunders is expected to pursue Chauncey Billups as an assistant coach if he takes the job.

Jon Krawczynski of the AP confirms that Saunders will take the job.
