Im looking at it more so from the owner’s perspective. You have to make bad deals/overpay there because Minnesota isn’t an attractive place to play. They’ll never attract the FAs needed. They couldn’t during the KG era. Then they couldn’t add the talent needed to get good players around the Rubio/Love era. Point is they cant attract FAs to add talent to their draft picks. Now they have Edwards and even if he’ll be an all star no ones going there.
Right now is the only time they’ll ever have an opportunity to have 3 all star caliber attractive established players. It wouldn’t be THAT bad of an idea to give this a shot. We all know their drafted players won’t stay there, KAT is gone first chance he gets, so will Edwards. Yes even though we rather have Edwards than Simmons, this might be the panic move they need to make.
