The Minnesota Timberwolves should not trade Karl-Anthony Towns. He is an All-NBA caliber center that has yet to reach the peak of his career. Moving on from him after acquiring D’Angelo Russell would be a big mistake, especially given both players are only 24 years old.

Ranking the offers:

1. Celtics – Smart, Brown, Grizzlies pick
2. Grizzlies – Jackson, Clarke, Brooks, Porter
3. Heat – Adebayo, Herro, Robinson, Igoudala
4. Thunder – Gilgeous-Alexander, Schroder, Bazley, picks
5. Pacers – Warren, Turner, Holiday, picks

The Wolves will be able to get a lot in return for Towns, but hopefully they will not have to trade him. As of right now, the team is looking to build their rotation up for a playoff run in 2020-21. Should they be able to do that, Minnesota could end up looking like one of the best young teams in the NBA.

Next. Nets likely to convey pick to Wolves this offseason. dark
