There have been a lot of interesting developments throughout the NBA this season, but the play of the Minnesota Timberwolves , who will head into the All-Star break atop the Western Conference, has been arguably the most impressive of the bunch.
A big reason for their success is Anthony Edwards , who has taken a massive step forward as the Timberwolves offensive leader (26.1 PPG, 5.2 APG, 5.2 RPG, 46.8 FG%). And perhaps more importantly, Edwards sounds committed to leading Minnesota for many seasons to come.
Edwards is not interested in moving to a big market team
Edwards is in the process of becoming a superstar in the NBA, and when that happens, teams often try to find a way to get that superstar player on their own team. The Timberwolves are bracing themselves for it, given how well Edwards has played this year.
Minnesota recently locked up Edwards on a massive five-year deal, but players can force their way to any team they want. Could a move to New York or Los Angeles be in the cards for Edwards? According to “Ant-Man”, it’s not something the T-Wolves have to worry about.
