The Athletic NBA Daily
Anthony Edwards says the Wolves are soft | Who is Tyrese Martin?

he's not like a guy that's going to break you down off the dribble and blow past you and get to the rim. Cat's usually playing out at the perimeter. Then they're also, because of that, they're not getting to the free throw line. So for as efficient as the offense has been, it could be even more efficient, I guess, which is scary because it's on pace to be like one of the best offenses ever.

But I do think that at some point it's going to come back to bite them. You just... If you're not going to defend well, you can't score that many twos and win against the really good teams. A la Boston. You look at the games that they lost, they shot tremendously on twos. The other team outshot them from three.

And that's just kind of been the weird story because they're not defending well and not always getting up the most amount of threes that they possibly can because they do struggle with things like switching.

Anthony Edwards says the Wolves are soft | Who is Tyrese Martin?

Yeah, I'm not sure I'll have an answer for you. But what I think was was part of the logic, obviously. When the trade happened, there was a different front office in place. Troy Weaver and company were running the program. Then Trajan Langdon comes in. If people recall, Quentin barely played in Detroit, really struggled with a knee injury, which I think he had coming from New York.

Anthony Edwards says the Wolves are soft | Who is Tyrese Martin?

I can't remember if he, I don't even think he, but once the trade happened, I think it took him a while to play. Then he tried to play and was like two for 25 from three and then sat out. And his time in Detroit wasn't, the most efficient, even though I thought he had some good moments defensively. Sure.

And I think part of it is getting the, the big expiring of Tim, as opposed to Quinton, which allowed to consider resigning. Right. And I think, yeah, I think they were very – I don't know why they had to give up Quentin to take on Tim, right? But they could have maybe kept both.

But maybe they looked at it as like we have a lot of guards we want to develop, and I'm not sure there's enough room there. They'd rather have the veteran leadership of Tim as opposed to taking another young guy who's only, what, Quentin's in his fourth year, fifth year, and trying to give him minutes and then –

uh, you're fighting with the SAR, you're fighting with Ron Holland, you're fighting with Ivy, you're fighting with Sasser. Like they had a lot of young guards, but to, to help usher in this new era, they go for the veteran and Tim Hardaway. So I don't really have a reason why they didn't keep both.
