Michael Scotto: Karl-Anthony Towns on expectations for the Timberwolves this season: “It’s go time. The (Rudy Gobert) trade happens. There’s no more time. There are no more excuses. We’ve got to get it done now. It’s championship now or bust. Got to go out there and get the job done.” pic.twitter.com/MRbuNoTG2U

Karl-Anthony Towns at his contract extension press conference today continually hammered how it’s time to win. KAT says it’s “championship or bust” time in Minnesota. – 2:20 PM

Players with 400+ blocks in a season:
456 — Mark Eaton (1984-85)
That’s more than Jaren Jackson Jr, Robert Willams and Rudy Gobert combined this season. pic.twitter.com/ILRfqNF4Zd – 3:23 PM

Dane Moore: Karl-Anthony Towns on what he expects playing with Rudy Gobert: “His strengths are my weaknesses and his weaknesses are my strengths.” pic.twitter.com/aCasFwClLk -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / July 22, 2022
“I think the Knicks and the Jazz will reengage here at some point. Maybe it’s this week. Maybe it’s next week. Maybe it’s in two or three weeks. The Jazz are not necessarily going to move quickly. The Rudy Gobert talks… that was over a period of time this summer and once Minnesota stepped up with the package they did, that was an easy deal for the Jazz to do. -via RealGM / July 18, 2022
Jake Fischer: I know that Brooklyn at least inquired in the early stages of Durant’s trade request and Rudy Gobert’s deal to Minnesota to see if (Donovan Mitchell) was available. And they were told then that Donovan was not. Obviously things have changed now. -via Spotify / July 16, 2022
Dane Moore: Karl-Anthony Towns on potentially spending his entire career in Minnesota: “My dream was always to try to retire here and live every single day of my NBA career as a Wolf. Deeper into my career, new contract, I feel very good with the possibility of that happening.” -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / July 22, 2022
It seems counterintuitive given they haven’t won a playoff series since 2004, but the Wolves might have been closer than Atlanta to “one-player-away” status. They had two bona fide stars in Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns; Gobert gives them a big three — even if he’s a decade older than Edwards, who is barely starting his career. -via ESPN / July 15, 2022
