Anthony Edwards on Luka Doncic: He didn’t look 270 to me, man. He averages 30 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds. I don’t give a damn if you’re 300—you fine with me!”

The info war sources from the Mavs are waging against Luka are an unseemly effort to justify the ineptitude of the team’s ownership and GM. Never been anything like it in NBA history. Would David Stern have tolerated this? I don’t think so. – 9:59 AM

Anthony Edwards said with a longer warm-up he might have tried to play, but there wasn’t enough time to test his groin. So he didn’t play. – 9:06 PM

While Irving continues to play at an All-NBA level, executives pointed to the recent Luka Doncic trade and comments made by Maverick general manager Nico Harrison as to why Irving is in position to score a lucrative contract. “He fits our time frame,” Harrison said, referring to the addition of big man Anthony Davis. “If you pair him with Kyrie [Irving] and the rest of the guys, he fits right along with our time frame to win now and win in the future. And the future to me is three, four years from now.” -via ESPN / February 19, 2025
“I thought I’d seen everything in my 47 years in the NBA, but clearly this was different,” Welts said. “I think a lot of people of good intent tried to do the right thing. “I probably underestimated the reaction. I think we’ve done the best we can, basically, with the staff and trying to do the right thing with everybody who touches the Mavericks. “It’s incredibly emotional, an incredibly difficult time for so many people. But I still believe we’re going to come out on the other side, with a future that’s incredibly bright. That’s kind of my glass-half-full approach there.” -via Dallas Morning News / February 19, 2025
Anthony Davis’ agent reflects on the shocking trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers and AD to the Mavericks The NBA world was stunned by the blockbuster trade sending Luka Doncic to the Lakers and Anthony Davis to the Mavericks—including Rich Paul, AD’s longtime agent. Reflecting on the deal, Paul admitted: “99.9% of the time, I know what’s going on. The one time I didn’t, none of us did… And I’m glad, because if I knew, it probably wouldn’t have happened.” -via Sportando / February 19, 2025
“Your game is very similar to MJ’s, but what move would you like to adapt to your bag from MJ?” Anthony Edwards: “No moves, man. Shout out to MJ—he the GOAT. I just wish y’all would stop comparing me to him.” -via YouTube / February 19, 2025
Anthony Edwards: I see all the critics talking about how the All-Star Game isn’t competitive, but I can’t really answer that, man. I don’t know. I don’t know. Because from my perspective, I’ve never been an All-Star Game type of guy who takes it seriously—going out there, trying to guard somebody, and getting a stop. I’ve never been that type of guy. I just save it for the Timberwolves season, pretty much. So, speaking for myself, I don’t think so.” -via YouTube / February 19, 2025
Tim Reynolds: “My groin’s been messed up for a little minute,” Anthony Edwards said, but he hopes to not miss any time with the Wolves. -via Twitter @ByTimReynolds / February 16, 2025
