Chris Hine of the Star Tribune joins the Dane Moore NBA Podcast to discuss his recent one-on-one interview with the Wolves’ All-Star guard.
On today’s show, Dane is joined by Minnesota Timberwolves beat writer, Chris Hine, from the Star Tribune, to discuss Chris’ recent story on Anthony Edwards — a one-on-one interview, in which Edwards reflects on the season, lays out his plan for the summer, and describes how he’s trying to become the greatest shooting guard of all-time by “catching his boy M.J.”. Some of the specific topics from the story that Dane and Chris discuss include.

— What Edwards says his approach to late-game offense will be next season. How will that be different from his approach this season?

— How Edwards is growing, and has room to grow, in his ability to read opposing defenses. Some discussion on how Ant improving in those areas can unlock a new level to his game.

— Ant’s “superpower” of getting to the rim. How did that ability grow this past season? How can Edwards take that aspect of his arsenal to new heights and make an All-NBA team next season?

— What does chasing Michael Jordan actually look like?

— Edwards announced his plans to work out with Rudy Gobert in France and fellow rising fourth-year star Jaden McDaniels in Minneapolis this summer. How might that be beneficial to him and the team as a whole?

— What does being in “the best shape” look like for Edwards? How have his habits changed in that department since he entered the league last season? What has he seen to make him want to improve in that area?

— Edwards is eligible for a max contract extension this summer. What might the financials of that look like if he signs it?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a trade exception within the NBA?

In the NBA, there is a trade exception that allows players to be traded away. This exception allows teams not to make salary moves but can acquire players with salaries that are higher than the ones they traded away. A team can use this exception over multiple seasons, and it does not count against their salary cap or luxury tax threshold. Trade exceptions provide a way for teams not to have to trim their rosters or make changes to their roster composition. This allows for a more competitive balance and helps to avoid unfair advantages that could arise from financial situations.

It keeps the league financially strong and gives teams the freedom to make moves without worrying about their finances. Trade exceptions are an integral part roster construction in NBA. They can be used to help teams fight for championships.


Who holds the record in terms of career playoff wins for the NBA?

With LeBron James leading the way, racking up an impressive 174 wins in NBA Playoffs history and 266 games played, it's no wonder he is one of the most sought-after basketball players today.


Who did the first basket in NBA basketball?

Ossie Schetzman, an American professional basketball athlete, was the first to score a basket in the Basketball Association of America. The NBA would become the National Basketball Association later. The basket was scored on November 1, 1946, in a game between the Toronto Huskies and New York Knickerbockers. Schectman's historic debut basket opened the BAA's first season.


What is a buyout for the NBA?

A buyout in NBA refers to a contractual arrangement between a team (or player) and a team. In this agreement, the team agrees to pay part or all of the remaining contract amount the player was entitled to receive. This allows players to become free agents and sign with any other team in the league as soon as their buyout is complete. The league allows teams to change their roster composition or reduce their salaries during the season.


What is the NBA salary limit?

The NBA salary cap is a limit on the salary of each team's roster. The league determines the salary limit each year. It's designed to prevent teams from signing multiple high priced players, creating unfair advantages and ensuring parity among teams. For free agents and trades, teams must keep the cap below 50 players. They can exceed it if they use certain exceptions, such as signing a player with Bird rights or offering a player a contract with portions of their salary counted against the cap and the remaining portion paid out as a bonus. The league salary cap is an integral part and helps to maintain a balanced team roster.
