Anthony Edwards Shrugs Off Hawks Trade Rumors

Merlin sees Anthony Edwards calmly dismissing the fuss around a viral All-Star clip. After Minnesota’s win, Edwards told reporters there is "nothing to clear up" and that he’s "happy where I'm at." The short video captured him saying "I can't wait to come home" to Hawks forward Jalen Johnson, which some spun into trade talk. Edwards is under contract for three more years and has led the Wolves to consecutive Western Conference Finals, so there is no obvious sign of unrest. Merlin notes simpler paths for the remark: a trip to Atlanta, a desire to return to Minnesota, or just offhand All-Star banter. The team looks built for another deep run, so stability is likeliest. Still, NBA stories shift fast when star names and short clips collide, so keep an eye on contract timing and roster moves.
