Anthony Edwards Raves About Heat Culture Sticks With Timberwolves

A video surfaced of Anthony Edwards chatting with Norman Powell at an All-Star media shoot and asking how Powell has settled in Miami. Edwards is clearly rooted in Minnesota after signing a five-year, $244.6 million rookie extension through 2028-29. He is a four-time All-Star, two-time All-NBA player, is averaging a career-high 29.5 points, and has driven the Timberwolves to back-to-back Western Conference Finals. He praised the Heat, saying "I see what they mean when they say Heat Culture," but there is no sign he wants to leave. Merlin sees a respectful fan of Heat Culture, not a restless star. At 24 and locked into a max deal, Edwards looks like the anchor of Minnesota’s future. A friendly conversation with a Heat veteran and admiration for Erik Spoelstra are natural, not a roadmap to Miami.
