The pressures that bond Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards

 

The Minnesota Timberwolves had just beaten the Portland Trail Blazers, their second win in three games since the All-Star break, so Karl-Anthony Towns was in a particularly good mood. Winning stretches like this haven't come around that often the past few years.

Better yet, Minnesota had won because its No. 1 overall pick, Anthony Edwards, had the best game of his young career, scoring 13 of his then-career-high 34 points in the fourth quarter of a tight game against one of the best teams in the Western Conference.

 


 

Towns had already tried and failed to win with another former No. 1 overall pick, Andrew Wiggins, during their four-plus years together in Minnesota. And while he's just 25 years old, Towns has seen enough in his six NBA seasons to know you don't get many chances to make these kind of pairings work.

But while sources at United said that Woodward's decision is not related to the controversial attempts to lead the club into a breakaway European Super League, ESPN has been told that the likely collapse of the plan in the wake of the withdrawals of United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool -- with Chelsea expected to follow -- on Tuesday has in fact accelerated Woodward's decision.
