In the face of a challenging decision to potentially sacrifice their future for another championship run, the Golden State Warriors are considering an epic trade that has fans both excited and apprehensive. The team is reportedly planning a "7-for-1" deal to acquire Anthony Edwards, the core player of the Minnesota Timberwolves. This bold move could either reignite their championship aspirations or result in a high-stakes gamble gone wrong. The Warriors started the season with impressive performances, with Stephen Curry's hot hand and Buddy Hield's prowess from beyond the arc, complemented by the rise of young players within the team. Fans were hopeful, envisioning another championship title within reach. However, the team's fortunes changed quickly. Hield's form dipped, leading to crucial mistakes, and Melton's season-ending injury left a significant void. The team's reliance on Curry became even more pronounced, as he single-handedly carried the team forward. Despite his best efforts, the Warriors found themselves hovering around the play-in tournament spots in the Western Conference, a precarious position that raised concerns among supporters. Experts have suggested that the Warriors' struggles stem from a lack of a reliable scoring option. In the current NBA landscape, Edwards stands out as a formidable offensive force. His explosive athleticism and scoring ability make him a key player for the Timberwolves, averaging over 25 points per game this season. His driving skills and top-tier one-on-one efficiency pose a significant threat to opposing defenses. Despite his talents, Edwards has faced challenges within the Timberwolves organization. With the departure of Karl-Anthony Towns, he became the sole focal point, but…

The Clippers lost, narrowly defeated by the Timberwolves with a score of 106-108 on the road, missing out on their chance for two consecutive victories! In this game, the Clippers had a lead of up to 19 points, but were ultimately reversed by the Timberwolves. Kawhi Leonard on his poor performance: "I played badly, I didn't perform well." "I need more time, I'm adapting to the game." "I'm not worried about this, I will get better." "Harden is already very good, he shouldn't be questioned." "I need to take on more pressure, and I will do it." Tyronn Lue on Leonard: "As long as Kawhi can stay healthy and play, it has great significance for us." "He still needs some time, we are all very patient to wait, he can get better." "When Kawhi can perform like last season, that will be the time for our resurgence." Leonard only made 3 out of 11 shots in this game, which was indeed a very poor performance! However, Leonard has just returned from injury, so it is understandable that his form fluctuates! As long as Leonard can maintain his health, he will definitely get better! Harden on being called for an offensive foul: "I don't understand, it was an obvious flop, and he hit me with his hand." "If you're not going to call a defensive foul, why would you call an offensive foul?" "We only lost by 2 points in the end, I don't want to make excuses for the loss, losing is losing." "But, the refereeing in the game really…

The Clippers embarked on a two-game road trip with Leonard continuing to play. Ultimately, the Clippers lost 106-108 to the Timberwolves on the road, ending the latter's three-game losing streak. Today, facing the Timberwolves, Clippers fans might say, "What kind of game was that?" They were once up by 19 points but were reversed by the Timberwolves. Edwards is really good; he hit two consecutive three-pointers in the final moments, completely dominating the court, which is quite impressive. In the end, Hua Zi's performance against the Clippers somewhat resembled his previous game against the Rockets. The Timberwolves were down by 16 points in the fourth quarter, and Hua Zi fought back point by point. Then Edwards faced the Rockets' tight defense and made the game-winning three-pointer. It was the same today against the Clippers; everyone knew Hua Zi would shoot, but you just couldn't defend him. In the final two possessions, Powell broke through for a 2+1 to help the Clippers take the lead. However, Edwards immediately responded with a three-pointer, and then the Clippers missed their shot. Tyronn Lue had Harden double-team Hua Zi, but Hua Zi still made the three-pointer despite facing two defenders, effectively ending the game for the Clippers. Honestly, the Clippers didn't lose unfairly; Edwards was truly remarkable. However, being reversed from such a significant lead also indicates the Clippers' offensive instability. Moreover, Tyronn Lue's arrangements were problematic; the starting lineup remained unchanged at the beginning, with Harden and Dunn as the backcourt partners, Powell assigned to the three-spot to increase firepower, and Leonard, who…

On January 6th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season will continue, with the Clippers traveling to play against the Timberwolves as visitors. The Timberwolves have recently fallen into difficulties again, suffering a three-game losing streak. In their last game, they were surprisingly defeated by the Pistons, with team core Edwards scoring an empty 53 points. Besides Randle's 17 points, no other players scored in double digits. After the game, Edwards even refused to be interviewed, clearly dissatisfied with the team's performance. Currently, the Timberwolves' record stands at 17 wins and 17 losses, ranking 10th in the West, and they still need to find their form. This season, the Timberwolves' defensive performance has been good, allowing an average of only 108 points per game. However, the team's offense lags behind, averaging just 109.2 points. Moreover, the frontline anchored by Gobert is not stable, averaging only 42.8 rebounds per game, which ranks at the bottom of the league. The Timberwolves' offensive threat is still the three-pointer, averaging 15.1 made threes per game. Once they can shoot well, the chances of winning will increase. Edwards remains the team's offensive core, contributing an average of 25.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. The Clippers welcomed a resurgence in their last game, with Leonard making his debut in the new season. The team played an excellent game, setting a new high for the season with 36 assists, with eight players scoring in double digits, easily defeating the Hawks 131-105 to end their two-game losing streak. Leonard returned to play less than 20 minutes, hitting 3…

Another Loss! Netizens Call for Trading Edwards! Timberwolves Become the Biggest Joke in NBA Scoring an astonishing 53 points yet still losing by 14 is a rare occurrence. The Timberwolves lost 105-119 to the Pistons. In this game, Hua Zi shot 16 out of 31, including hitting 10 three-pointers to score 53 points, both career highs. The rest of his teammates combined for 18 out of 49 shots, scoring a total of 52 points... This is what it means to be a lone tree unable to hold up the sky; just look at Hua Zi today. Everyone then looks back at the trade before the start of this season, where the Timberwolves suddenly used Towns to swap with the Knicks for Randle, DiVincenzo, and a first-round pick, and they can't help but laugh. The Timberwolves only made it to the Western Conference Finals last season, but they immediately dismantled their core lineup. So far this season, they are ranked 10th in the West with a record of 17 wins and 17 losses. Despite having no choice, it's still hard to understand. Due to failed trades, the Timberwolves have fallen into difficulties this season. Now many people are calling on Hua Zi to follow in the footsteps of his brother Butler, proactively apply for a trade, and leave the cold Minnesota to bring his talent elsewhere to start a new chapter in his career. Speaking of the Heat, their internal chaos recently led to a big loss of 100-136 against the Jazz, who are at the bottom of the West. Sometimes,…
