Why The Trade Would Benefit The Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors was expected to come into the season with Steph Curry and with championship aspirations. Unfortunately, that changed with Klay Thompson suffering a torn Achilles in the offseason. They could use another threat and Karl-Anthony Towns helps in many ways.

Towns is a big man who rebounds well on both ends and can step out and shoot the three. The league is being taken over by stretch four or five type players. Towns is one of those players and leads this movement.

He would fit in well because he knows how to play fast and can fill it up from three-point range. With Towns down low, the floor would open up more for the players on the perimeter. Opposing defenses will not be able to throw double or triple teams near half court at Steph Curry.

The return is large but Towns has plenty of years left and could get the Warriors back to their championship level. This is important in the Western Conference given the talent of many teams and the expectance that this will not diminish anytime soon.
