'I'm Scared' - Anthony Edwards Is Basically Begging The Wolves Not To Treat Him Like Luka, Knows Anyone Can Get Traded Now
There was a growing belief that Luka, at one point, was untouchable, obviously. Whenever people made the lists of players who would never be traded in sports, Luka was on there. He's now gone. You know what? I kinda love the madness of it all. Give me chaos and let's see what happens in the NBA. I've seen talk that this is a sign that NBA owners and GM's are sick of players trying to dictate the league and every decision, fine. If Luka can get traded, let's get nuts with Giannis' idea:
Do I understand that you probably should give a heads up to the face of your franchise that you're going to trade them? Yeah, sure. There's an argument that people like Luka deserve a heads up. BUT, I also love just making moves for your team. It happened the entire time I was growing up. You never knew who was constantly demanding trades or what the rumors were. You just waited until the ticker came on the bottom line and a little pop in before running to your AIM and hitting up the boys on there. Maybe put an away message about it.
And, yeah, Ant probably is a little scared because he fits the Luka trade mold. Top pick, superstar, questions about if you're winning a title with him. Again, if Luka can get traded why not Ant or basically anyone else who isn't Nikola Jokic? I say get weird with it. Give me a complete reset with people getting traded and owners/GMs making basketball moves and not just entertainment value.
