The Minnesota Timberwolves recently endured an 11-game losing streak. During that nearly month-long stretch, the sky absolutely fell like it was falling around Ryan Saunders and his team.
The "Karl-Anthony Towns is disgruntled" stories began in earnest, starting with a New York Post article on Christmas Day that states that the Knicks were "monitoring" Towns' situation. Then, Ethan Strauss at The Athletic reported that the Golden State Warriors were keeping tabs on Towns and his potential availability.
Since that time, the Wolves have stabilized themselves by winning three of their last five games.
