The LeBron James sweepstakes has not found a resolution, and it's hard to tell when it'll come to an end.

As for the Timberwolves, they believe they have a good case for James signing with them, especially after adding LaMelo Ball . They could be in good shape the longer this process takes for James, according to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic.
"I think the longer that this drags out, the better the Timberwolves' chances become," Krawczynski wrote. "Because if you think about what LeBron has to process and has to consider, it is fair to say of all of the teams left, Minnesota is probably the most surprising one. Cold winters, no history of winning, a lot of things that go into it that just make you think, why would the Timberwolves be in the hunt?

"Now, they have a great case to make, if you ask me, with basketball fit … I think that they have really thrown the kitchen sink at LeBron and just said, we are here for you, we think this is the best place for you to come and win if you want to win a championship. And I do think that has gotten LeBron James ' attention."

It may be hard to sell James on the cold weather, especially at this point of his career, but if it's all about winning, the Timberwolves give him a good chance of doing that . He'll be surrounded by a group of young, hungry players who are looking to get over the hump.
It's safe to say the Timberwolves are still in the race, but it might take an extra push for them to convince James to sign.
