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.

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.
