Anthony Edwards is even more excited about the Minnesota Timberwolves' upcoming NBA season right after the major free-agent acquisition of Jonathan Kuminga.
In a now-viral video shared by the Timberwolves across their social media platforms, Edwards welcomed Kuminga as the forward arrived at the T-Wolves' camp for the first time.
A hyped-up Edwards dapped up Kuminga before delivering some interesting words.
"Ya'll see what's going on," a smiling Edwards said as he walked away. "This sh*t over, man. Wrap this sh*t up.
"This sh*t over this year, man."
Jonathan Kuminga picked Timberwolves over Lakers
Jonathan Kuminga has signed a two-year, $13 million deal to join the Minnesota Timberwolves, effectively ending the long wait regarding his free agency right after the Atlanta Hawks declined his 2026-27 team option.
Past reports suggest that Kuminga turned down a much bigger offer from the Los Angeles Lakers, which would have paid him more in one season than he could potentially make over two years with Minnesota.
Across 36 games last season for the Hawks and the Golden State Warriors, Kuminga averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists while shooting 46.3% from the field and 33.3% from beyond the arc.
Major role, expectations await Jonathan Kuminga in Minnesota
It is widely believed that Anthony Edwards played a major role in convincing Kuminga to join the Wolves, emphasizing that the 23-year-old would thrive in Minnesota on both ends of the court.
As such, Kuminga now faces the significant challenge of making an impact for the Timberwolves as their marquee wing addition. Together with Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert, he is expected to be one of the anchors of Minnesota's defense.
It should also be interesting to see how Kuminga takes another step forward alongside LaMelo Ball's playmaking, with the two potentially forming an exciting connection on several alley-oop plays.
With Kuminga on their side, Edwards and the Timberwolves are locked in and ready to go to compete for the NBA title next season.
