Why would the Minnesota Timberwolves trade-off Karl-Anthony Towns?
It is unlikely for a team at the top of the table to trade off their star. The Minnesota Timberwolves have a 24-9 record this season, and they are second to none in the Western Conference. They would not like to disturb the balance of their squad. They would wait for the postseason to make a decision on Towns.
