“Everyone is notified,” Edwards told reporters. “I’m afraid. Tim, if you’re going to trade me, let me know, Dawg. When the port trades, anyone can be traded.”

Mavericks decision for the Doncić trade has not many precedents. He is The first player in over 50 years To trade after led the league in the post-end scoring in the previous season. When you add to what Dončić achieved in his age and the fact that last season led Dallas in the NBA finals last season, it is Probably the most glossy trade in NBA historyIf not sports history.

Edwards, whose flows were lost from Maverik in the Western Conference of the final last season, was stunned as everyone else, expressing sympathy for their colleague star.

“They say no one knew about trade. It’s crazy,” Edwards said. “In 25 (years), they probably had the best shooter in the NBA. And he did not know about it. There’s a lot more digging one’s need to find out why it’s trading. It’s to him in the 25th. He just went to the finals. I feel bad for the harbor, man. “
