DeMarcus Cousins suggests a 'straight-up trade' for Timberwolves after Anthony Edwards' injury
Anthony Edwards is expected to be out for around two months, and that is a huge blow for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Ant-Man had a phenomenal start to the new NBA season, and he formed an instant connection with LaMelo Ball.
DeMarcus Cousins has proposed a straight-up trade for the Minnesota Timberwolves following the injury to Anthony Edwards. The injury is expected to sideline Edwards for approximately two months, dealing a significant blow to the Timberwolves. Cousins suggested that the Timberwolves and Washington Wizards explore a trade that would see Rudy Gobert and Anthony Davis switch sides.
Cousins believes that this move would benefit both teams, as the Timberwolves would acquire a replacement for Edwards, while the Wizards would gain a much-needed defensive anchor in Davis. The article quotes Cousins saying, "If the Wizards are feeling like it’s not a good move, with everything that’s going on in Minnesota right now with Ant and how much time he’s gonna miss, I say they do a straight-up trade for Rudy and AD."
The Timberwolves, without Edwards, would be bolstered by the addition of Davis, who could provide 20 points per night if healthy. However, the article highlights that the Wizards may be hesitant to accept Gobert due to his recent underwhelming performances.
