The Minnesota Timberwolves could acquire Kyrie Irving when he becomes eligible to be traded on Dec. 15 in a massive move that gives them a serious shot at winning the West.

Anthony Edwards is one of the best players in the world, but Minnesota desperately needs a point guard next to him. Mike Conley is nearing the end of his legendary career, and the Wolves don’t have a replacement.
