Although Ethan is good, he can t shoot and has a fragile body. It s better to use it in exchange for Edwards.

Amen Thompson is indeed good at defense and has impeccable physical condition, but he just can't shoot; Ethan is good at both offense and defense, but unfortunately his body is fragile, so it is better to bundle the two of them and exchange for Edwards.

Edwards was also unsatisfied in the Timberwolves. Although they could reach the playoffs and even the Western Conference Finals, they could not overcome the two mountains of the Thunder and Nuggets. If they wanted to defeat the two giants, going to the Rockets to join forces with Durant and Shen Jing was the best shortcut.

The Timberwolves did not suffer a loss by acquiring Amen Thompson and Ethan, which is equivalent to getting two starting-level players, and Amen has huge potential and an immeasurable future ceiling; Ethan can also grow into the league's top power forward. This transaction will not affect the development of the Timberwolves at all.

After Edwards lands in Houston, he can be paired with Shepard to lead the first and second positions. These two "musketeers" have strong offensive power and are difficult to defend against anyone who encounters them. Together with Durant, Smith Jr., and Shen Jing, it is simply the strongest lineup.

In this league, the championship is the most convincing and highest honor. I believe Edwards is also very eager to win the O'Brien Cup.
