MINNEAPOLIS — Brace yourselves, Minnesota Timberwolves fans. They’re coming for Anthony Edwards.Now that Giannis Antetokounmpo has finally been traded from Milwaukee to Miami, the machine will need to be fed. Basketball discourse cannot survive without daily speculation on some poor superstar who is stuck in a mid-sized market and absolutely has to get out.Oh, it will stop if Edwards wins a championship in Minnesota, right? Or, at the very least, when Edwards signs another maximum contract extension it will quiet the mob? No, no, no. Just look to your neighbors to the east. They will tell you that nothing will stop the trade machine from churning.It has already started. Antetokounmpo has not even gotten any South Beach sand between his toes and we’ve already moved on to the next potential transaction on which to fixate. The Timberwolves took a step back as a team last season, and it gets really cold here in the winter. Ergo, Edwards needs to get out and go to somewhere he can win a championship, preferably in a city with gridlock traffic and an impossibly high cost of living.How the Heat pulled off a heist for GiannisEsfandiar BaraheniIt doesn’t matter that Edwards is under contract for three more years. It doesn’t matter that he has made the most money a player his age could possibly make in the NBA. It doesn’t matter that, according to multiple people with knowledge of Edwards’ thinking, the Timberwolves star is not flinching at the challenge ahead and believes the team has a bright future ahead of it. It doesn’t matter that the Timberwolves have put a veteran team around him with good leaders that has won five playoff series in the last three years.That was yesterday, when everyone could focus on getting Giannis the heck out of Milwaukee. Now that he is gone, another breathless monitoring of a player’s future has to take its place.There is no sense in fighting it or getting mad about it. This is what drives so much NBA content at the macro level. Not analysis of the games, not human interest stories on the players, but salacious searches for the next star being failed by the mom-and-pop franchises that exist only to develop talent and feed it to the overlords in New York, Los Angeles, the Bay Area and Miami.This is not a complaint. This is not a local writer rising to the defense of the team he covers. This is simply an acknowledgement of the world in which the Timberwolves, and Timberwolves fans, live. It will not be changing anytime soon. There is no grand epiphany that is coming to cool the hot takery that infects the social media-soaked league.So there are two options:
