The Minnesota Timberwolves are trying to strike while the iron\u2019s hot, realizing that 2020 No. 1 pick Anthony Edwards<\/a>\u2019s rapid ascension has put them in title contention. Edwards is even considered to be one of the faces of the NBA\u2019s new generation. That being said, the Timberwolves likely want to hold onto the 23-year-old as long as they can.<\/p>\n

The feeling appears to be mutual, as Edwards recently told Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson that he\u2019d like to stay with the franchise<\/a> for his entire career.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I can, I’m trying to be here for my whole career,\u201d Edwards tells Jefferson, per ESPN\u2019s Jamal Collier.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ain’t trying to go nowhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edwards has teased a split with the Timberwolves a couple of times this offseason.<\/p>\n

First, he replied to a fan that said he should play for the New York Knicks. In response, Edwards said that he would love to reunite<\/a> with former teammate Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a>, who the Knicks recently traded for.<\/p>\n

After that, ESPN teased a clip of Edwards saying that he\u2019ll go play in the NFL if he wins a championship within the next few years.<\/p>\n
