Harden wants to join the Timberwolves but must wait in line! Their top target is Giannis: offering a longer championship window

On February 4th Beijing time, according to reporter Fischer, besides the Cavaliers, Harden is also interested in joining the Timberwolves. However, to team up with Edwards, he might currently only be able to "wait in line."

Fischer mentioned that Harden is eager to be traded to the Timberwolves, yet the team is currently devoted entirely to chasing Giannis, and has not moved forward with any trade plans involving Harden.

Additionally, Fischer pointed out that Giannis will carefully choose his next destination; compared to joining the Warriors to team up with Curry, the Timberwolves, Knicks, and Heat can offer a longer window for championship contention.

Fischer said: "Giannis is now fully focused on the narrative and development of his career, which has become very clear... Anyone who talks with those close to Giannis will understand how much he values the story of his next chapter, just as much as planning the way he leaves Milwaukee..."

"If he can team up with a young superstar like Edwards to help the Timberwolves break through after making the Western Conference Finals two years in a row without advancing further, and considering the long window for collaboration with Edwards, there is a real chance to create achievements in Minnesota that the franchise has never seen before. This would undoubtedly become a highly talked-about career highlight..."

"With the Warriors, it’s hard to have a five to six-year championship window since the core is Curry (almost 38 years old); but theoretically, whether you join Edwards in Minnesota, Brunson in New York, or Adebayo in Miami, such long-term championship opportunities are within reach."

Which team will Giannis and Harden ultimately join? Let’s wait and see.
