Amazing Luca Densic Trade raised all types of reactions about The American Professional LeagueOne of the people who criticize Dallas Maverx To take the transition to praise Los Angeles Lakers For a 25 -year -old mVP mVP.
Anthony Edwards I was offered to the situation differently, though this Minnesota Timberwolvs‘Sadmanto kings on Monday. He wondered whether he could be traded in a similar way, as he made an appeal to the basketball operations chief Tim Connect.
“Everyone is informed”, Edwards He told reporters. ))
The MAVERICKS decision of a Doncic trade has no many precedents. that it The first player in more than 50 years To be traded after leading the league with post -season registration in the previous season. When you add what Doncic in his time and the fact that he led Dallas to the American Professional League finals last season, this is he It can be said that the most shocking trade in the history of the American Professional LeagueIf not the history of sports.
Edwards, who lost Timproolvs against Maverx in the Western Conference Finals last season, was amazed like anyone else, expressing his sympathy for his star colleague.
“They say no one knows trade. This is crazy,” Edwards said. “On 25 [years old]Perhaps they were traded with the best scorer in the American Professional League. He did not know that. There is a lot of drilling that someone is doing to find out why they are circulating. Because you do not trade him in 25 years. He just went to the finals. I feel bad with Luca, man. “
To the Edwards point, there was no indication that Doncic was available until the trade was completed late on Saturday. Niko Harrison, General Manager of Marakex, was close to the Director General of Lakers Rob Pelinka about trading Densic in Los Angeles earlier in January Dallas Morning News was told on Saturday.
But while Edwards is among many who are still wondering why Marax traded, Harrison presented some of the logical basis when he met journalists on Sunday. He explained that difficult decisions will be taken this summer when it was scheduled to be qualified to extend Supermax for a period of five years at a value of $ 345 million.
“I feel that we went out in front of what could be a loud summer,” Harrison said. “The other teams that were downloading that he would be able to make a decision, or make his own decision at some point whether he wanted to be here or not. Whether we wanted it, I think we had to take all of this in mind.”
In addition, Marax was “frightened” equally from the signature of Donicic along Supermax, if he had not signed the deal because of fears about his adaptation, Espn mentioned. Densic missed 19 games in Marax 19 due to a hard -legged injury before trading.
Timberwolves should not have the same concerns on Edwards. He played at least 72 games in each of his first four seasons in the league and lost only one match this season. Edwards, 23, in the first season of a five-year extension of $ 244.6 million, will last during the 2028-29 season.
