Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota Timberwolves
There was some smoke around Karl-Anthony Towns and a potential trade last summer, but that mostly died down as soon as Jimmy Butler was traded to the Sixers. Nevertheless, the Minnesota Timberwolves are a team to watch this season.
Short of Andrew Wiggins making a big jump this season, or Jarrett Culver being an absolute stud, the Wolves are pretty stuck in Western Conference purgatory. Another season or two of irrelevance, and it could be time for the Wolves to hit the reset button again.
A trade demand for KAT could expedite that process, however. I’m not sure where KAT’s head is at the moment, but feel like he could benefit from a change of scenery if they can’t find a way to get him more help.
