This Hornets-Timberwolves trade would send Karl-Anthony Towns to Charlotte

After signing Gordon Hayward this past offseason and drafting LaMelo Ball to be the point guard of the future No. 3 overall in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets finally have the looks of being a legit team in the Eastern Conference. With the emergence of some young, potential stars on the roster last year, Charlotte has the chance to be one of the better young teams in the NBA.

Devonte Graham was one of the most improved players of the 2019-20 NBA season as he increased his points per game average by 13.5 points, his assists per game by 4.9 assists, and his three-point percentage by almost 10%. A lot of NBA fans felt he was deserving of the 2019-20 NBA Most Improved Player Award, but it was ultimately given to the New Orleans Pelicans All-Star forward, Brandon Ingram.

The growth this team has made in the offseason is truly remarkable seeing that they have been near the bottom of the Eastern Conference for so many years, but that is about to change for sure. The Eastern Conference is a lot weaker than the likes of the Western Conference in the NBA and any team really has a chance at the bottom few playoff spots in the East.

Charlotte could easily be one of those teams that sneaks into the playoffs this upcoming year and it is because of their offseason additions, but could also become a force if they were able to acquire another NBA All-Star level talent.

Karl-Anthony Towns is a player the Hornets should absolutely target, especially given their lack of depth and talent in the frontcourt. Cody Zeller is not a consistent center and with P.J. Washington being their only talented player in the frontcourt, going out and trading for an All-Star like Karl-Anthony Towns would make the Charlotte Hornets a legit playoff team in the East and a team that could potentially make a run in the playoffs for years to come.

KAT is one of the best big men in the entire NBA, but are the Minnesota Timberwolves willing to even listen to offers for the 2x All-Star? Let’s take a look at a trade package that would land Karl-Anthony Towns in Charlotte.
