The Minnesota Timberwolves are once again starting to fall down the standings. After a strong start to the NBA season in which they were 3-1, Minnesota have sunk like a rock in the standings.

With a new general manager in place, the team could elect to shake things up once again in the near future. If that occurs, Karl-Anthony Towns is someone to keep an eye on.

Towns has stated numerous times that he wants to remain in Minnesota and help turn things around. Playing his entire career with one franchise, just as Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan did, is something he would like to accomplish as well.

Alas, he has done a lot of losing in his NBA career. The Minnesota Timberwolves have made the playoffs once in Towns’ career, in 2018. That is the franchise’s only playoff appearance since 2004. To return to being a perennial playoff contender, something may have to change.

While Towns may not be requesting a trade right now, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if he did down the road. Losing will wear on players and that is what he has done in a majority of games in the NBA. If he wants to change that, he may need to move elsewhere.

Could the Golden State Warriors be a possible landing spot? They have missed the postseason two straight years but made the NBA Finals for five consecutive years before that. Acquiring him could help them get back there once again.

What could a deal look like? Let’s take a look at this trade that lands Towns in the Bay Area with Golden State.
