[Krawcyznski] During the recruiting process LeBron James asked Anthony Edwards how he would feel if he didn’t sign with Minnesota: “Edwards didn’t hesitate, telling him that would be OK, because that just meant he could tear James’s head off on the court when their two teams met.“
“I think that’s the fun part about working,” Finch said. “We don’t look at those things as obstacles to not do something, but things that we’ll figure out as we move through it. Even if we don’t have great clarity on what it is, I think we trust each other to do that.”
And if you’re thinking Edwards is crestfallen by James’ decision, think again.
During one of several conversations he had with James, Edwards playfully told him if he didn’t make a decision soon, he would tear James’ head off, according to league sources briefed on the conversation. James laughed and asked Edwards what would happen if he chose another team.
