Take a listen:

“I have partial information on something that will be explosive if it happens,” Le Batard said. “And I’m just gonna set you up for something here that is speculative right now but is something to keep an eye on. Glen Taylor is the owner of the Timberwolves and I don’t think anyone considers him a good owner. And he sold the team to Alex Rodriguez. There’s an arbitration coming up in which we’re going to find out who gets that team. Is it gonna be Glen Taylor or is it gonna be A-Rod?

“And this is what you need to watch out for, okay. If Glen Taylor keeps the team, what’s going to happen after that is they’re gonna lose their team president Tim Connelly. He’s gonna leave because he signed a long-term deal with the A-Rod team and I think it’s contingent, I believe, on A-Rod being the owner.

“Everybody thought A-Rod was gonna be the owner of that team. And if Tim Connelly leaves, the next step on that is Anthony Edwards possibly wanting to leave with him and requesting a trade to Miami.”

The Minnesota Timberwolves signed Edwards to a five-year, $244 million extension in July 2023. Edwards, one of the best players in the NBA, will make $42.2 million next season.

A two-time All-Star, Edwards averaged 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 2023-24 while shooting 46.1% from the field, 35.7% from beyond the arc and 83.6% from the free-throw line.

Edwards was the first overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. He holds career averages of 22.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists.

The Heat lost to the Boston Celtics in the first round of the 2024 playoffs in five games, while the Timberwolves lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals in five games.
