Grimes, coming off a breakout season, remains central but negotiations risk disrupting preseason preparations.

    Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is working to add a post-up and midrange game, inspired by Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, aiming for more consistency in big games. Despite back-to-back Western Conference Finals runs, he remains inconsistent in playoff scoring. Edwards has studied Jordan and Bryant tapes, seeking to integrate fadeaways and mid-post scoring into his arsenal. His 27.6 points per game dipped in the postseason, with poor midrange accuracy. Developing new dimensions could elevate him from All-Star to genuine franchise superstar.
