The Minnesota Timberwolves forward and center, Karl Anthony Towns, might get traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder if this trade deal goes through. Towns have been a disappointment for the Timberwolves even when they tried covering up what he lacks.
Rudy Gobert was signed to fix Towns’ issue of not being able to defend the rim, but it did not work out. Gobert played his role proficiently, but Karl failed to guard the perimeter. The Thunders can use Chet Holmgren to fix the issue. Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder involving Karl Anthony Towns.
What would the Thunders offer for Karl Anthony Towns?
The Timberwolves can offer Davis Bertans, Luguentz Dort, and one first-round pick each from the years 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027. Towns have not been a horrible player. Actually, he has done pretty well at the NBA level. Probably his shortcomings did not see the surface in earlier stages of his career, but now they are holding the Timberwolves down in some sense. The Thunders are going to be in a dilemma too. Would they like to land Towns?

Why would the Thunders like to sign Karl Anthony Towns?
Thunders need to make their choices. They can’t keep all the draft picks to themselves. They would not be able to pay all of them, plus they can’t give them game time too. The best thing to do is to trade them for a star player. Towns is probably the star they have picked. He would improve the attack, and his issues might not be a problem for the Thunders since they have got Holmgren to sort it out.

Why would the Timberwolves let Karl Anthony Towns go?
The Timberwolves could not get what they desired from the Rudy Gobert trade, but they can’t get back what they paid for him. So, they are removing the root cause of it. They are trying to trade off Towns. The deal gives them two good players along with a bunch of draft picks. They have no reasons to say no.
Both teams are healing themselves with this trade while simultaneously making their roster stronger. But would the Timberwolves really part ways with towns? We’ll keep you updated.
