Landing Kyrie Irving "makes the Timberwolves a legitimate contender," a well-placed NBA source tells me. Minnesota is actively searching for a second star-level talent to pair with Anthony Edwards. Meanwhile, Irving has kept a low profile and truly loves playing in Dallas, largely due to his connection with the next generation. If the Timberwolves decide to pull the trigger, internal approval won't be an issue. I’ve heard Edwards is completely open to sharing a backcourt with Irving—though sources crucially clarify that Edwards isn't actively pounding the table or advocating for the front office to make the move.
