Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards shared his thoughts on the shocking trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Edwards expressed his disbelief and concern over the decision to trade one of the NBA’s top scorers at just 25 years old.
“At 25, they traded, probably, the best scorer in the NBA at 25. And he didn’t know about it, so, it’s a lot more digging somebody gotta do 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, man…”
The trade has left Edwards and many other players feeling uncertain about their own futures in the league. Edwards humorously admitted,
“I’m scared. Tim, if you’re gonna trade me, let me know, dawg. When Luka got traded, anybody is able to get traded.”
