Anthony Edwards is one of the NBA's best young players. It won't be long until the basketball world starts to speculate if he wants to play somewhere other than Minnesota.

A viral post has suggested that Edwards is a target for the Houston Rockets to pair with Kevin Durant.
Except, well, there's no evidence this is true, despite nearly a million people having viewed this post:

In concept, this could be true. The Rockets could want Edwards as their long-term franchise cornerstone.
But there has been no reporting on that from any of the NBA's national or beat reporters. This looks to be just a post created to get engagement.

But the Rockets would have to surrender a crazy trade cost to truly get Edwards. Maybe it'd be worth it, but right now, it doesn't appear to actually be in the cards.
