“What you wanna know, why we’re trash?”

Anthony Edwards has a lot on his mind. And understandably so—the Minnesota Timberwolves were terrific last season, but the same can’t be said this year. They’ve been struggling to keep up and the poor start says it all. This became even more evident after the disappointing loss to the Sacramento Kings at the Target Center. These issues have prevented ANT and his crew from performing at their best. In his latest media interview, the young talisman appeared clearly upset as he ranted about the nonexistent team chemistry.

Answering the media’s questions, Ant-Man shockingly shared that he feels the team has been growing apart! Hinting at the communication problems, the talisman was pretty candid about the state of the locker room.

Christopher Hine of the Star Tribune took to X to share, “Anthony Edwards to the media. “Y’all wanna talk to me? (Yes.) What you wanna know, why we’re trash?” Proceeded to say the Wolves, including himself, look like a bunch of “front runners” right now.”

While Anthony Edwards didn’t point out anyone specifically, his comments seemed directed at the entire team.

ANT said, “I think it’s we soft as hell as a team, internally. Not to the other team, but internally, we soft. We can’t talk to each other…Just a bunch of little kids. Just like we playing with a bunch of little kids. Everybody, the whole team. We just can’t talk to each other. And we’ve got to figure it out because we can’t go down this road.” Well, to put some perspective to this, the Timberwolves are one of the youngest rosters in the NBA, averaging at just 26.1 years.

Edwards continued, “We got up and everybody cheering and f—–g hype. We get down again and don’t nobody says nothing. That’s the definition of a frontrunner. We as a team, including myself, we all were frontrunners tonight. It was some b——t, for sure.” The Minnesota Timberwolves currently stand 8-10, as the No. 12 seed in the Western Conference, a far cry from what they were last season. While the same tag can be pasted on many teams’ on-court form this season, what went wrong with the Timberwolves?

Anthony Edwards’ 4th consecutive disappointing loss to Sacramento Kings, downfall after KAT exit?

Pairing Anthony Edwards with Karl-Anthony Towns proved to be a brilliant strategy last season. However, Minnesota’s front office traded KAT to the Knicks. In return, they acquired Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo, both of whom are still struggling to find their rhythm with the team. Meanwhile, on the other side, Towns has been instrumental in the Knicks’ recent success! It won’t be wrong to say that since the blockbuster yet controversial trade, the Wolves have seemingly struggled to find the balance they had before.

Anthony Edwards’ frustration regarding the missing team chemistry is understandable considering this was Minnesota‘s fourth consecutive loss despite being so close to breaking the pattern. ANT, visibly unimpressed, expressed his frustration as the team squandered a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. 

Despite their slow starts, the Wolves appeared on the verge of breaking the 3-game losing streak. Edwards delivered a game-high 29 points. Randle had 21 points and 9 rebounds but disaster struck soon after.

Malik Monk nailed two three-pointers, narrowing the Kings’ 8-point deficit… De’Aaron Fox quickly ran to seal the victory for Sac Town, sinking 2 more three-pointers to propel the Kings to a 115-104 win over the Wolves. Whether ANT’s frustration post-game will spark a fascinating turnaround remains to be seen; with the team all set to face the LA Clippers next.
