Golden State Warriors has terminated a $123 million contract as a result of a dispute with management about…
With every step that Anthony Edwards takes towards the absolute top echelon of NBA players, the more the hearts of Golden State Warriors’ fans break a little more.
The Warriors were so close, just one pick away from the chance of selecting Edwards in the 2020 NBA Draft. The franchise instead ended up with James Wiseman, a pick that’s resulted as one of the worst draft misses in recent NBA history.
Bad luck rather than bad management is to blame for the Golden State Warriors missing out on Anthony Edwards at the 2020 NBA Draft
While both Golden State and Wiseman (most recently a Detroit Piston) have already begun what’s an uncertain offseason, Edwards was again leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a second-straight road victory over the reigning champion Denver Nuggets in the second-round of the playoffs.
Edwards’ last four playoff games have yielded 36, 40, 43 and 27-point performances, each of which have come on greater than 52% shooting from the floor. At just 22-years-old, he’s already one of the league’s best players and appears destined for more than a decade of dominance to come.
Edwards’ recent explosion has sprung a resurface of the Warriors’ thoughts prior to the draft, and specifically a report from Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman that claims the franchise may not have taken Edwards at two even if the 6’4″ guard were available.
