The unexpected trade of Luka Doncic has generated a wave of responses in the NBA. Critics have pointed fingers at the Dallas Mavericks, while others praise the Los Angeles Lakers for acquiring a top MVP candidate.

However, Anthony Edwards voiced his concerns after the Minnesota Timberwolves faced defeat against the Sacramento Kings. He expressed his unease about potentially being traded as well and reached out to Timberwolves president of basketball operations, Tim Connelly.

“Everybody get informed,” Edwards told reporters. “I’m scared. Tim, if you’re going to trade me, let me know, dawg. When Luka got traded, anybody is able to get traded.”
Translation: “Everybody get informed,” Edwards told reporters. “I’m scared. Tim, if you’re going to trade me, let me know, man. When Luka got traded, it means anyone can be traded.”

The Mavericks’ decision to move Doncic was unprecedented. He’s the first player in over 50 years to be traded after leading the league in postseason scoring last season, making this arguably the most shocking trade in NBA history. Edwards, who experienced a playoff exit at the hands of the Mavericks, shared his empathy for Doncic.

“They say that nobody knew about the trade. That’s crazy,” Edwards remarked. “At 25, they traded perhaps the best scorer in the NBA. And he didn’t know about it. There’s more digging to do to find out why he got traded. You don’t just trade him at 25. He just went to the Finals. I feel bad for Luka, man.”

There’s a lot more digging to be done to find out why he got traded. Because you don’t just trade him at 25. He just went to the Finals. I feel bad for Luka.”

Edwards is not alone in questioning the rationale behind the trade, as many are left puzzled. Please stay tuned for further developments.
