Big man Karl-Anthony Towns is the longest-tenured player on the Minnesota Timberwolves, and throughout his time with the team, he has cemented himself as the best 3PT shooting big man in the league.

Despite his talent, the Timberwolves have not found much success during Karl-Anthony Towns’ tenure, only making the playoffs three times and never getting out of the first round. His four-year, $224 million supermax extension could be a problem under the new CBA as well, and a recent report from Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report revealed that some league executives think Towns could be traded by the Timberwolves within the next few weeks.

“Other competing executives think Karl-Anthony Towns will be long gone ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.”

“Some even believe Minnesota would jump at an opportunity in the next few weeks.”

The new CBA will be prohibitive towards luxury tax teams, and the Minnesota Timberwolves would be at risk of going past the tax threshold if they don’t move one of their big-money contracts before giving Anthony Edwards an extension, Karl-Anthony Towns is the logical choice to move based on his value.

This season, Karl-Anthony Towns averaged 20.8 PPG, 8.1 RPG, and 4.8 APG while shooting 36.6% from 3PT range. He is a quality player, but whether he will live up to his supermax contract remains to be seen.


Some Believe Karl-Anthony Towns Will Get Traded To The Knicks

There are already some rumors about where Karl-Anthony Towns will end up in a potential trade. A previous report suggested that he will be on the New York Knicks if traded.

“Several NBA sources over the past couple of years have expressed they believe the Knicks will ultimately end up with Karl-Anthony Towns, a CAA client. If so, would the Knicks want to add Towns to complement their top three or send out Randle or Barrett? No one polled expects Brunson to be available, but sourcing was of mixed opinion on what’s next for New York.”

There’s no doubt that the New York Knicks would be a good destination for Karl-Anthony Towns. It is unclear what a trade package for him would look like t this moment, but perhaps we will see this move happen in the offseason.
