The Dominican connection. Al needs to recruit Town's.

Will not even get a taste of free agency for another decade.

 That's up to him. He can be an idiot like Anthony Davis, and have a horrible team every year. Or he can compete for titles every year by age 25 if he came here.

It's not "up to him."  Once his rookie contract expires, the Wolves can, and will, match any contract offered. 

"A decade" is a bit of an exaggeration, though; we should be able to make a play for him around 2024.

He can 'Greg Monroe' his way out of town, but it is too risky given the injury possibilities.

Unfortunately, we won't ever likely get a look at prime Towns in Celtic Green; hopefully Jaylen can become our next future superstar and other teams can start threads about somehow acquiring him.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does pulling a "Greg Monroe" mean?

not gonna happen. Wolves will be contenders in the next few years. He's there long term.

It means Towns would forego restricted free agency and sign with Minnesota for the qualifying offer(money that in this case would underpay Towns for that year by about $10-13 million) which makes his contract a no trade contract and Towns becomes an unrestricted free agent the following season.

.....in other words, not gonna happen!!!

It would be more than that.  His minimum qualifying offer is 10.2M but he'd at a minimum get 25%MAX (over 25M).  However he would qualify for 30%MAX (over 30M) if he's voted an All-star starter twice, selected to an All NBA team twice or voted MVP once.  The last is very unlikely but the other two are certainly possible.

Oh right.  I guess that might be relevant for someone like Greg Monroe.  Karl Towns is a completely different story.  No way he's taking a one year qualifying offer at the end of his rookie contract.

Might as well use the UNC connection with Zeller to get prime Jordan while we're at it.

I don't even think he could Monroe it. If the Wolves Butler him, he's essentially stuck. My understanding of this provision of the CBA is that the Wolves can offer him his qualifying offer AND a maximum QO. If they offer the max QO, Towns is forced to sign either that QO, locking him in for 5 years, or a deal of 3+ years with another team, which will surely be matched. Best case scenario, he's a free agent in the summer of 2022.
