Trade: Minnesota Timberwolves - Los Angeles Lakers - Sacramento Kings
MIN get Luol Deng
LAL get Rudy Gay (exp / opts out)
SAC get Ricky Rubio
The above would be the outline in which Thibs gets his former Chicago and defensive protégé Luol Deng, who could play aside Towns as a PF or, if Dieng continues to start with Towns, share the wing with Wiggins, while LaVine, Dunn or Jones play Point. Sacramento on the other hand get the player they wanted for a long time now and Gay could be something like a placeholder for the Lakers starting spot at Small Forward, which Ingram fully should take next season as Gay likely opts out in some months anyways. And they also get rid off Dengs big contract, too.
I think some additonal players would have to be involved to make this savory for Minnesota and Sacramento, say: MIN get Deng, McLemore, Casspi - SAC get Rubio, Muhammad - LAL get Gay. Maybe Collison or Lawson will have to be added for the Timberwolves too, as Dunn just seems not to be ready for the starting PG spot and I'm not sure if LaVine is capable for the playmaking either. Maybe Tyus Jones, but Tom Thibodeau still isn't playing him much.

I honestly wouldn't mind that at all. Deng hasn't been anything much but a mentor. His shots are short and he's not the same defender he used to be. While Rudy Gay has always been an underrated talent. Great scorer and decent defender.
