Is Lebron really a sweepstakes at this point, or is he more of a door prize?

How long do you think LeBron listens to a pitch that involves Tim Connolly pleading with him to come get beat up by Zion Williamson . I don’t see it being a very enticing offer to a 40-year-old man coming to enjoy the twilight of his career record a documentary while we’re asking him to come in and go up against the physical forwards in the league and get his butt kicked nightly.

If that's the case, the only top 5 contender for him would be out as he would slot in as the 4 on all of them except MIA and if he goes to the East he has Giannis and others to match up against too. If MIA is his play, then he also has to also guard wings more often.

The other thing is the team referencing their out of the box options at PF and I think they will utilize this even if Lebron came to MN. It would just be less often with him starting.

Could a phone call from Anthony Edwards turn a Minnesota LeBron mock-up into reality?

While Cleveland & Philly lead the race, sources tell me that the Timberwolves have massive internal interest.

But there's a catch—Ant has yet to make the call.

If he's serious about recruiting the King to the Twin Cities, keep a close eye on Fanatics Fest in NYC.

Full details, roster fits (including the Trey Lyles factor) and the ultimate NYC wildcard: https://scoopb.com/2026/07/the-architec ... -wildcard/
When is Ant showing up? I'm getting LeBron burnout.

Anthony Edwards will appear at Fanatics Fest tomorrow, I’m told.

The clickbait is off the rails!

Yep, hahaha. It came out the other day that Ant would be at Fanatics Fest though so that part isn't new. A Rod was in NYC talking to Lebron at a concert or something this week too.

If Ant is slow playing this, only to swoop in in the final days of his decision to say "Bring ya ass"... get it done Ant haha
