Karl-Anthony Towns boasts one of the most impressive and well-rounded skill sets in the NBA. And yet, the popular belief among many insiders is that the Timberwolves could face a potential issue in a situation where they attempt to trade the 27-year-old big man.
During a recent conversation on ESPN's The Hoop Collective, insiders Brian Windhorst, Tim Bontemps and Tim MacMahon discussed Towns’s future and specifically the issues Minnesota may run into with his contract. Windhorst began by highlighting the fact that he doesn’t believe the Timberwolves “could get picks for Towns [in a trade] right now.”
MacMahon parlayed off that opinion by stating that if the team could get “a couple of really solid role players,” the Timberwolves might have to “pounce” on that.
