At the top level of competitive sports, the dynamic between teammates can be both complex and entrancing. So, when they allow outsiders to have a say in it, the influence often results in harmful outcomes for the team. Something similar nearly happened as Anthony Edwards commented on trading either Rudy Gobert or one of his $158,253,000 worth of teammates.

The Minnesota Timberwolves faced this question after endeavors that put him in the spotlight. So, his remarks on the matter carried a certain volume as Edwards candidly responded.

What did Anthony Edwards say?

Team USA started their FIBA World Cup 2023 campaign strongly as they went 3-0 in the first round of the competition. In the third game against Jordan, they dominated under the influence of Edwards as he dropped 22 points. After the match, a European reporter asked him the trade question as it came at an interesting period.

A star-studded France side had suffered an unexpected humiliation at the World Cup stage right before that. Anthony’s Timberwolves teammate Gobert failed to push through as his team lost both of their opening two games. Rudy himself bagged only 17 total points in those matches as Latvia edged past them following a 30-point loss to Canada.

This moment marked a shocker in France’s history, after their consecutive bronze medal finishes in the last two editions. So, the question put the entire franchise under a bad spotlight as the name of $158 million worth of Karl-Anthony Towns got mixed into this. The 22-year-old stood his ground as he defended both the centers of his team.

“Neither one, man,” the NBA All-Star replied, before adding, “I like all my teammates. I love them”. Then the shooting guard emphasized, “I wouldn’t trade neither one of them”. The youngster stood by his Gobert amidst criticism, which makes us wonder about one thing.

Can the big three produce a wonder?

The organization has been in long search of its first-ever NBA championship. The ambition of the management was fully on display when they signed Rudy Gobert and gave out multi-million dollar contracts to Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns.

The hopes are high this season from the big three of Minnesota, as they have done quite well individually till now. So, the time has come for them to combine on the basketball for the betterment of the franchise.
