We’re slowly learning what goes into the process of letting Anthony Edwards playmake/play point guard more often.
Given that DLo was out, I thought this answer was interesting when I asked Ant about why there were more play calls tonight than normal. Also a funny Ant answer. pic.twitter.com/4nbyd0nd5l – 12:03 AM

Wolves need to add a point guard or actually lean into Point Ant in a major way. Nowell, Rivers and SloMo are half-measures on a team that clearly needs more control and ball movement.
Not specific to tonight. Even if DLo and JMac are healthy, they still need more true PG play. – 9:40 PM

More on this storyline
Yossi Gozlan: Lowry is struggling with the Heat for the second year in a row. While it’s debatable whether Russell is an upgrade or can be reinvigorated under “Heat Culture,” their reasons for doing this deal are mainly financial. Miami is set to be close to $20 million over the luxury tax next season after extending Tyler Herro to a four-year, $130 million extension. Swapping Lowry, who is owed $29.7 million for next season, for Russell’s expiring contract would solve that tax crunch. -via HoopsHype / January 4, 2023
Minnesota: D’Angelo Russell (illness) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday’s game against Portland. Taurean Prince (right shoulder subluxation) and Naz Reid (back spasms) are questionable. -via HoopsHype / January 3, 2023
Brian Windhorst: I said that the Timberwolves could use a guy like Mike Conley… It doesn’t appear Mike Conley is available, at least right now. -via Apple Podcasts / January 3, 2023
