14. Karl-Anthony Towns

Tradeability Score: 10.3 out of 30 (least tradeable)

  • Contract Value: 1.2/10
  • Market Value: 8.7/10
  • Rosas Factor: 0.4/10

Karl-Anthony Towns is the face of the franchise. Already under a max contract through the 2023-2024 season, Gersson Rosas has said publicly that KAT is untouchable. Other teams may not like it, but KAT is in Minnesota to stay.

13. D’Angelo Russell

Tradeability Score: 10.5 out of 30

  • Contract Value: 1.5/10
  • Market Value: 8.1/10
  • Rosas Factor: 0.9/10

D’Angelo Russell signed a shiny new max contract his offseason with the Golden State Warriors in the midst of negotiations with the Timberwolves. At the 2020 trade deadline, Gersson Rosas finally signed his coveted point guard after months and months of waiting.

Aside from the fact that Russell and KAT have a well-documented friendship, Rosas would be hard-pressed to trade an asset he worked so long and so hard to acquire.
