Anthony Edwards has established himself as an elite star in recent years, leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to two straight Western Conference Finals appearances. He has also embraced the city of Minnesota and is already an all-time Timberwolves great. However, ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins shockingly predicted that Edwards would request a trade next summer if the Wolves don’t reach the Finals, citing his contract as a reason why.
“If Anthony Edwards don’t reach the NBA Finals, he’s going to request a trade,” Perkins said on ESPN. “$45M ain’t top-of-the-top. Bradley Beal’s making $52M.”
This is an absurd take from Perkins, considering both what he implied about the Wolves' title chances and his salary point.
