Julius Randle was never a great fit next to Anthony Edwards. If and when the Wolves trade for a star this summer, they need to make sure he fits alongside Ant.
With Chris Finch revealing the Timberwolves' plans to pursue a playmaker, we explore five options that could fit alongside Anthony Edwards.
After making back-to-back appearances in the Western Conference finals in 2024 and 2025, the Timberwolves faced a cap crunch last summer.

While Thunder general manager Sam Presti covered a wide range of topics in his end-of-season exit interview, he spent more time defending Shai Gilgeous-Alexander than he did on any other subject, according to Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman, who notes that Presti strongly pushed back on the notion – pushed in some corners of social media […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves must overhaul their roster to compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs.
