A four-year saga involving the sale of the team put many questions into the heads of fans.
Rumors of the team leaving Minnesota for warmer weather have often cropped up -- and Glen Taylor had served as the last bastion in preventing that over the years.
However, after Taylor agreed to a $1.5 billion transfer of ownership of the team to Alex Rodriguez and Mark Lore in 2021, the Wolves became Western Conference contenders with Edwards at the heart of the franchise.
An ugly legal battle described as "bitter" and "emotional" played out over the terms of the transfer, conjuring more concerns about the future of the franchise and alienating Edwards with its dysfunction.

However, the NBA's Board of Governors officially authorized the sale of the team this week, prompting the Timberwolves to begin getting Rodriguez and Mark Lore front and center on the team's social media.
Edwards reacted to the news with a two-word message that spoke volumes to his thoughts on the Wolves franchise.

Sharing a photo of the new owners on his Instagram story, Edwards replied with the caption: "Congrats Sac (an acronym meaning 'Solid as Concrete')."
Edwards' approval of the new ownership bodes well for his prospects in Minnesota so long as the Timberwolves remain competitive.
Lore and Rodriguez had a sit-down with broadcaster Michael Grady outlining their goals for the franchise.

While they listed many items they want to address, the plan Lore wanted fans to hear the loudest?
"We are not moving the team, ever. We are never moving the team," he reiterated.
They also discussed returning to the Western Conference Finals and becoming a respected and admired organization in the world by building a better franchise that mirrors what fans want.
Lore and Rodriguez were behind hiring former Denver Nuggets president of basketball operations Tim Connelly, who has facilitated several trades that have pushed the Wolves into the center of the Western Conference playoffs.
