Ahead of the 2026-27 season, a lot of people can say that the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs are the favorites in the Western Conference. Considering they are the two teams in the Conference Finals, it is not surprising. However, they do have continuity within their rosters.
Despite that, it seems Anthony Edwards is confident that the Minnesota Timberwolves can challenge them for the top spot. Those are massive expectations to set for oneself, but Edwards is ready to cement himself and his team as the top team in the West.
The offseason has been quite eventful for Edwards and the Timberwolves. They became the headline team when LaMelo Ball got traded to Minnesota, forming one of the best backcourts alongside Edwards. That made people excited about the Timberwolves ahead of the season.
They also had a shot at signing LeBron James, but it ended up not working out for them after the Philadelphia 76ers swooped in and signed him. However, that should not dissuade people from being excited about the Timberwolves.
