Trade Idea: Boston + Minnesota

[CBS_Take a Report]

Minnesota trades Karl-Anthony Towns

Boston trades Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Robert Williams III, Memphis Pick

It is a large package but this is the weight of a package it would take to land KAT. And while it seems like a large overpay, look at our long term team (post-Kemba signing):

PG: Kemba Walker
SG: Gordon Hayward
SF: Jayson Tatum
PF: TBD
C: Karl-Anthony Towns

My good God. That team is insanely good looking. Doesn't matter who we plug into PF. Maybe Grant Williams grows into that spot. Maybe a league exception target. Maybe a vet minimum savvy PF.

Something tells me KAT is the target in terms of cashing in all these assets.

I made a similar proposal, but included taking Wiggins contract, which Wolves are trying to dump. Got killed here; apparently Towns is untouchable, at least for now.  So they say.

[Fafnir]

Towns is an Anthony Davis level talent under a full 5 year contract. He's untouchable.

TP for the original thought. Rather not take back Wiggins however.

Sure.. Maybe sota will throw a few unprotected first round picks too.

Yeah, and if/when he does want out of Minnesota he is going to get them a huge return. Look at what New Orleans got for Davis from a team that, if they kept their cap situation under control, could most likely have signed him a season later anyway.

[RodyTur10]

Rather overpay for a great player like Towns than underpay for a good player like Capela. (if that makes sense)

[Donoghus]

Minnesota has him signed through 2023.

He's not going anywhere in the near future.  They hitched their wagon to him with that contract.  And I don't blame them.

[Boise To Boston]

Towns is untouchable.  I honestly don't think there is a single player in the league for whom they would let him go.  He's an elite offensive player and he really upped his defensive game this year.

[ETNCeltics]

No way they trade him right now. Maybe 2 years down the road if he becomes disgruntled and demands a trade.

Yeah, some take it a bit too far.

Anyway.....if the Wolves were looking to include Towns, I'd take the Wiggins contract.

I feel Towns could be Ainge's new trade target.

True, but it seems like we've seen this movie play out with other teams, Minnesota included
