The Minnesota Timberwolves want to build their team around Anthony Edwards in the coming years. The newly negotiated contract makes that more than clear.

Timberwolves and Edwards (21) agreed on an XXL contract that will bring the Guard up to $ 260 million over the next five years. This summer, this is the fourth working paper in the “Rookie Maximum” category – following the contracts of Tyrese Haliburton (Indiana), LaMelo Ball (Charlotte) and Desmond Bane (Memphis).
Edwards’ new contract is said to take effect for the 2024/25 season and reach the “supermax level” if the player is elected to the so-called All-NBA team following one season. Last season, the young T-Wolves guard was an all-star for the first time following a strong 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists.
New team for Beasley
What else has been going on in the last few hours?
– That Damian Lillard (32), who wants to leave the Portland Trail Blazers following many years in the control center, has been known for a few days. Now the star guard has underlined that the Miami Heat is his target. In order for a blockbuster deal to be realized, one or even two more teams must be brought on board – and it is also regarding the future of Heat-Guard Tyler Herro (23). exit still open.
– Torrey Craig moves from the star ensemble of the Phoenix Suns to the Chicago Bulls. The 32-year-old small forward started 60 games for the Suns last season and averaged 7.4 points (40 percent three-pointer rate). Craig will be given a two-year contract with the ex-champ.
– Guard/Forward Malik Beasley begins his next NBA chapter: After the 26-year-old was still on the ball for the Los Angeles Lakers last season, it should now continue with a one-year minimum contract with the Milwaukee Bucks.
