Star player Anthony Edwards has expressed enthusiasm about the new lineup, which he labels a 'superteam.'

Edwards emphasized his strong connection with Ball prior to the trade, suggesting that their established bond will positively impact the team's chemistry on the court. He highlighted Cody Williams, a new addition from the Utah Jazz, as the standout player during training camp, praising his defensive skills and intensity.
The Timberwolves underwent these transformations in hopes of advancing further in the playoffs, aiming for a deeper run after previously reaching a couple of Conference Finals.
Meanwhile, Edwards remains focused on team success rather than individual accolades, stating he is not preoccupied with MVP discussions. This mindset could bode well for the Timberwolves as they embark on a new season.
