The young star, now in his fifth NBA season, offered a blunt criticism of his team's performances, pointing to internal problems as the root of their recent decline. “We are soft (heck) as a team, but not in the way we deal with opponents – internally we are soft,” Edwards said. “We don't communicate, we act like a bunch of kids.

After a promising 6-3 start to the season, they have now lost four straight games and seven of their last nine. A major...
