Minnesota Timberwolves go after the signing of Ja Morant
The Minneapolis franchise needs a top-level point guard to relieve Edwards of responsibilities and contend for the championship, targeting Ja Morant.
Being a Conference finalist two years in a row and having a clear identity and game plan, Minnesota Timberwolves must take risks in their ongoing efforts to improve their team. Anthony Edwards deserves to be surrounded by a solid team, and Ja Morant is the next piece in the puzzle.
No room for speculation or hesitation. Minnesota Timberwolves is aware that they have a winning project on their hands and that the trend suggests they are regressing. Anthony Edwards is a star who deserves to have a core of maximum reliability and trust, which he currently lacks at a key position like the point guard. Placing Ant in that position as a temporary fix is counterproductive to his development, burdening him with responsibilities that impede his performance.
They need a reliable point guard, with both veteran Conley and young Dillingham being far from that. This is why Minnesota Timberwolves is determined to go all-in for Ja Morant, who still seems halfway out of the Memphis Grizzlies. Everything points to no issues arising for the Tennessee team to be open to a trade where they would receive young players and draft picks with an eye towards reconstruction.
