The Golden State Warriors appear to be the latest team showing interest in a possible trade for Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns, as suggested by a new report.
Quoting a story from Ethan Strauss of subscriber-only publication The Athletic, Bleacher Report wrote that the Warriors are “monitoring” Towns amid continued rumors that he may be on the move ahead of the February trade deadline. As further cited, multiple NBA team executives observed at the recent G League Showcase that the 24-year-old big man seems “unhappy” in Minnesota, especially since the Timberwolves are at 12th place in the Western Conference with a disappointing 12-20 record.
No specific trade scenarios were discussed in-depth, but Strauss wrote that the Timberwolves might want to acquire D’Angelo Russell from the Warriors, given the All-Star guard’s well-documented friendship with Towns. He added, however, that Golden State has a “differing vision” as far as acquiring the superstar big man from Minnesota is concerned.
