The Minnesota Timberwolves are fresh off a heartbreaking end to the season.
Falling in just five games to the Dallas Mavericks was a disappointing end after an impressive campaign, but it doesn’t mean it was a failure.
If anything, this will only help Anthony Edwards’ growth and development.
One needs to go through this kind of heartbreak to develop character and mature in this league, and Edwards should lick his wounds and get right back on his feet.
However, as good as the Timberwolves were, it seems like some things have to change.
At least, that’s how their potential new ownership might feel.
According to a report by Brian Windhorst of ESPN, the Timberwolves could reconsider Karl-Anthony Towns’ role with the team, assuming they do change owners (via NBACentral).

For those who lack context, a new group of investors led by MLB legend Alex Rodriguez is actively trying to purchase the Timberwolves, and while the sale reportedly suffered a bit of an impasse, that possibility is still on the table.
As for Towns, he left plenty to be desired in that series vs. the Mavericks, and it seems like the potential new ownership has doubts about whether he has it or not.
Once again, his character has been a subject of debate among NBA fans and pundits, as he’s always struggled when it actually counts.
Edwards looked exhausted and needs to improve his conditioning in the offseason, but he will also need his co-star to play better and like the veteran he is when the season is on the line.
