As this Wolves roster is currently constructed, I’m not sure there is much “meat on the bone” for improvements to the offense when Anthony Edwards is on the bench.
2023-24 Wolves O-rating with Ant ON: 117.8 (equivalent of a top-10 offense)

Don’t think people realize just how good a prime George McGinnis was. In his final ABA season (1975) these were his playoff averages:
Div Semis: 38.3 PPG, 18.8 RPG, 9.2 APG (4-2 W)
Div Finals: 30.6, 14.7, 8.7 (4-3 W)
ABA Finals: 27.4, 14.0, 6.4 (4-1 L)
Lots of LeBron in him – 9:30 AM

I really can’t wait for the first MVP straw poll. It feels like the race changes every night. I have no idea how the voters are gonna rank Jokic, Embiid, Giannis, SGA, Haliburton, KD, LeBron and Luka. – 11:17 PM

On Anthony Davis, who had 37 points for a second straight night of this B2B, despite tweaking his hip last night and ankle tonight, Ham said: “With LeBron out of the lineup, (Davis was) trying to put the team on his back. Trying to be the captain that he is.” – 10:38 PM

LA barely holds on w/o LeBron. They improve to 15-10. They’ve won 13 of 18 games (including the IST championship). AD had 37 points — his third straight game with 37+. Taurean Prince had 17 points. Austin Reaves had 15.
Up next: at SAS on Friday. – 10:25 PM

Looking forward to watching the almost-collapse I missed. A win is a win, I guess, and hopefully things are easier Friday with Bron likely coming back. But man, the Spurs have lost 18 straight for a reason. Not a great look to nearly blow that game. – 10:24 PM

LAL were up 20, but a few poor choices on offensive possessions led to easy Spurs buckets on the other end, forcing Darvin Ham to take time out with the lead trimmed to 15.
LAL would ideally like to have Davis sit next to LeBron for the duration and not need to bring him back. – 9:48 PM

They waved off the Reaves 3/4 court heave, much to LeBron’s chagrin.
However, B2B 3’s in the final minute from Reaves and Max Christie’s gave the Lakers a 92-74 lead heading into the 4th Q, nonetheless. – 9:44 PM

Austin Reaves just threw in a buzzer beater from his own 3-point line that had LeBron jumping off the LAL bench in glee.

More on this storyline
Dane Moore: Anthony Edwards is listed as questionable for Thursday’s game in Dallas. Still recovering from that right hip pointer. Jaden McDaniels (ankle) and Jordan McLaughlin (knee) both made their returns to the floor on Monday and are listed as questionable — likely more as precaution after recently returning from those extended injury absences. -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / December 13, 2023
Jim Eichenhofer: Anthony Edwards (hip pointer) is out tonight for Timberwolves, per Chris Finch. Jaden McDaniels (ankle) is a game-time decision -via Twitter @Jim_Eichenhofer / December 11, 2023
Christian Clark: Matt Ryan (right elbow strain) and Larry Nance Jr. (right rib) out tomorrow against Wolves. For Minnesota, Anthony Edwards (right hip pointer) questionable. Jaden McDaniels (right ankle) questionable as well. -via Twitter @cclark_13 / December 10, 2023
