The Minnesota Timberwolves have "ramped up" their efforts to sign LeBron James, sources told Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic.

The Wolves believe that they are in the running to land James, and are also the best situation for the 41-year-old.

The Wolves are pitching James on the idea of teaming up with Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert to help win Minnesota's first men's professional sports title since the Twins in 1991.

The team is arguing that James winning a title with the Wolves, who have never won a championship, would solidify him as the greatest player of all time.

Rich Paul mentioned the Wolves as a possible landing spot for James on his "Game Over" podcast.
