James completed the 23rd season of his NBA career this past campaign, a historic record. He is an unrestricted free agent after deciding to move on from the Los Angeles Lakers after eight seasons.
This has prompted multiple destinations to be on James' radar, like the Miami Heat , Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors . However, the Timberwolves may also be on the veteran superstar's interest list , per reporter Jon Krawczynski.
"The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe ongoing deliberations, said the Timberwolves have been in contact with James' representatives with a bold pitch: team up with Anthony Edwards , LaMelo Ball , Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert to go after the kind of championship that could end any discussion about who is the greatest player of all time," Krawczynski wrote.
"The Wolves think if James picks them over all the other suitors — cold weather and lack of spending power be damned — it would be the biggest possible statement he could make in the long-running greatest player of all time debate between him and Michael Jordan."

What's next for Timberwolves amid LeBron James pursuit
It would certainly be an incredible move for the Timberwolves to pull off. As LeBron James nears the end of his career, helping a team win their first-ever championship, something he did with the Cavaliers in 2026, may be his objective going into next season.
James continues to shine as one of the best players in the league at age 41. Taking part in 60 games throughout the 2025-26 campaign, he averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game. In the playoffs, he produced 23.2 points, 7.3 assists and 6.7 rebounds per contest.
Minnesota finished this past season with a 49-33 record, securing the sixth seed in the Western Conference standings. They stunned the Denver Nuggets in six games before falling to the San Antonio Spurs in six games.
