Jace Frederick: Timberwolves’ Trip to France Is Anthony Edwards Matching Actions to Words
The full roster traveled to visit Rudy Gobert and strengthen chemistry before the 2026-27 season, with video showing Anthony Edwards at the Eiffel Tower.
- Over the weekend, the Minnesota Timberwolves traveled to Paris, France, to visit center Rudy Gobert in a team-building trip featuring nearly the entire roster ahead of the 2026-27 season.
- Star guard Anthony Edwards organized the effort after lamenting the group's lack of offseason connectivity 11 months ago at Timberwolves Media Day in 2025, when he noted he and Naz Reid held separate summer camps without coordinating.
- Integrating new point guard LaMelo Ball requires a meshing period, which Edwards believes is smoother when a foundation is laid. "I think it starts in the summertime," Edwards said last fall regarding the necessity of togetherness.
- The Timberwolves aim to reach their first NBA Finals in franchise history after consecutive Western Conference Finals appearances in 2024 and 2025. Analyst Perkins believes the Edwards and Ball backcourt could be "the best in the NBA."
- This trip marks a significant step in the maturation of Edwards, who is applying past lessons to lead the franchise and is willing to do the work required to get the team on the proper course.
