MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9)<\/strong> – The Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> held a news conference on Tuesday at Target Center to introduce LaMelo Ball and Josh Green<\/a>.<\/p>\n We also may have learned more in the team\u2019s pitch to bring LeBron James to Minnesota. James is reportedly nearing a decision on where he\u2019ll play next season, and the Timberwolves are one of five teams with a seat at the table.<\/p>\n \u2018The recruitment is this team\u2019 <\/p>\n What they’re saying:<\/p>\n Timberwolves\u2019 front office head Tim Connelly was asked Tuesday about what the recruitment process for James has been like.<\/p>\n “I don\u2019t know, I feel like the recruitment is this team. Obviously he\u2019s an unbelievable player, whatever decision he makes is going to be the right one. There\u2019s a lot going on, when you\u2019re as great as he is, there should be optionality,” Connelly said. “This is a place you\u2019re going to have a lot of fun, you\u2019re going to win a lot of games, we\u2019re trying to change the narrative of how this organization is viewed. Wherever LeBron ends up is going to make that place much, much better.”<\/p>\n Connelly added, “We\u2019re down two great power forwards so it\u2019s certainly an area we\u2019re going to have to try to be creative. There\u2019s a couple free agents still available, we\u2019re working one or two of them right now, we\u2019ll see if that comes to fruition.”<\/p>\n One would have to assume James is one of the free agents Connelly is referring to.<\/p>\n Even Ball talked about the possibility of James coming to the Timberwolves.<\/p>\n He was asked, “You put in a call to LeBron James and say come on with us?”<\/p>\n “Yeah, whatever you\u2019re thinking,” Ball said.<\/p>\n LeBron James latest <\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n The Timberwolves are reportedly one of five teams in the mix for James. Jon Krawczynski with The Athletic told KFAN Radio Tuesday morning the Timberwolves are still very much in the conversation to land James.<\/p>\n Other teams in the mix include the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat.<\/p>\n If the Timberwolves were to sign James, it fills their void at power forward and likely gives them the talent they need to get to the NBA Finals next season.<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n James’s team has been radio silent on who the favorite to land him might be, and what the timeline is for his decision.<\/p>\n Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>Sports<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – The Minnesota Timberwolves held a news conference on Tuesday at Target Center to introduce…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":934793,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[40],"tags":[1260,62,6273,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-934792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-nba","tag-sports","tag-timberwolves","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116919637635123499","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=934792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/934793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=934792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=934792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=934792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
