Karl-Anthony Towns hypothetical trades: Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers sending two high-quality role players along with one young asset and numerous picks would not be a complete loss for the Timberwolves. TJ Warren in particular has been very good in the NBA’s restart. He started every game for the Pacers this past season and averaged 20 points per game on splits of 54/39/82.

Myles Turner is also a really good defensive big. He has averaged over two blocks per game each of the past two seasons and is already one of the better big men in the NBA at 23 years old. Aaron Holiday started a plethora of games for the Pacers in 2019-20 and has shown potential on both ends of the floor. The Timberwolves would also be receiving two distant-future picks.
