Minnesota Timberwolves: 3 possible Karl-Anthony Towns trade packages

Even after a little bit of time to cool off and reset, the reaction to the removal of Gersson Rosas as the head man in charge for the Minnesota Timberwolves is still resonating throughout the NBA universe. Then, not far behind was the tweet heard round the world. Karl-Anthony Towns was rather taken aback by the move and was not afraid to express his confusion on social media. In the true spirit of the NBA offseason, waiting for preseason to start, of course, fans everywhere began to fire up the trade machine to determine what something like a Towns blockbuster would look like.

Before getting into any of the potential moves, it must be prefaced with the fact that Towns is far from likely to be traded in the near future. Minnesota is looking to finally return to the postseason and has built a roster around their former All-Star that finally compliments his talents. They are one of the few teams still publicly sniffing around Ben Simmons, in a further attempt to build a roster around Towns. However, that does not mean it is not fun to consider the possibility for anyone not living in the Twin Cities.

If Karl-Anthony Towns were to demand a trade, what might the return look like? These are the teams best suited to blow away the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Three teams immediately jump out as suitors for the generational big man who could make it worth the Timberwolves while if they are forced to consider a move. They will be ranked by how appealing they are from a short term to long term potential. Let’s get started.
