Giannis to Timberwolves in Blockbuster Trade with Edwards

ESPN floated a three-team "whopper" that would send Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Minnesota Timberwolves, pairing him with Anthony Edwards, while the Bucks would receive a package of young players and picks and the Raptors would land Jaden McDaniels and Cole Anthony. The proposal "should have everyone's imagination running wild" because it instantly creates a high-ceiling contender in Minnesota and reshuffles assets across three playoff-level franchises. Merlin sees the trade as bold but costly. Minnesota gives up nearly all its young depth to chase a championship window. Milwaukee would get useful pieces but maybe not the blue-chip picks a full rebuild needs. Toronto appears to win a bargain for McDaniels. The deal reads like a gamble that could flip the West, if teams bite and market forces align.
