Timberwolves Should Pass On Ja Morant — Keep Edwards

Merlin sees Minnesota quietly watching Ja Morant’s unraveling in Memphis — the Grizzlies disciplined him after what they called an "inappropriate and dismissive" response to his coach, and he's had a string of off-court incidents and suspensions. The Wolves have reached two straight West Finals behind Anthony Edwards; adding a ball-dominant guard with dip in production and baggage would likely disrupt a roster that already plays to Edwards' strengths, so the piece argues a resounding "no." Merlin notes the magic in momentum: Minnesota’s ascent is fragile and built around Edwards’ rise. A flashy acquisition that competes for the ball risks sowing "seeds for dissent." The front office can lurk on trade buzz, but wise teams protect chemistry more than headlines — continuity, not chaos, looks like the safer spell.
