T’Wolves ‘Anthony Edwards about shocking Luka Dončić trade:’ You don’t just shop him at. 25 ‘

On By Littum

Only a few days removed from the amazing trade that sent Luka Dončić from Dallas Mavericks to Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis and Minnesota Timberwolves Star Anthony Edwards remain shocked and confused that part of this size could fall.

Dončić, who will be 26 years later this month, is a five-time all-NBA first team player and last season scoring champion, among other results. For Edwards, he still can’t over the fact that Mavericks would be open to moving a player at this level.

“They say no one knew about the trade. It’s crazy,” Edwards said after Minnesota’s loss to Sacramento Kings Monday. “At 25 years (years old) they probably traded the best goal scorer in NBA. And he didn’t know about it. There’s much more to dig someone to do to find out why he was traded. Because you don’t just act him at 25. He just went to the final.

The reaction across the basketball world has been a mixture of anger and disbelief. Mavericks fans are upset that General Manager Nico Harrison believed this was a trade to do for a 26-24 team sitting eighth in the Western Conference. Some protested on the go on Sunday by staging a mock funeral and spray paint messages aimed at Harrison. Dončic’s own father slammed the organization and said his son “absolutely does not deserve this.”

If a player like Dončić can be treated without hint, a trade came, who could be next? It was Edwards’ reaction when he jokingly sent a message to his colleagues NBA players to “be informed” of their own status and had a message to Timberwolves GM Tim Connelly.

“I’m scared. Tim, if you want to swap me, let me know, Dawg,” Edwards said. “When Luka was traded, someone is able to be traded.”

Edwards, 23, is a three-time all-star and has an average of 23.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists during his five-season career with Timberwolves. He is in the first year of a five-year-old, $ 204 million maximum expansion, which he signed in July 2023. This contract runs through the 2028-29 season.

The deadline of 2025 NBA is February 6 at. 15.00 one.
