Every single NBA player who is offered the maximum rookie contract has accepted it.
Put simply, let’s not expect that to change any time soon — and that includes the Minnesota Timberwolves and Karl-Anthony Towns.
(After all, we’re talking about $158.1 million, and an extra $31 million or so if Towns is named to the All-NBA squad this year. That’s … hard to walk away from.)
But all that said, the ink has yet to hit the paper. And we don’t really have concrete evidence that the offer has even been made, although it would certainly be surprising if it hasn’t.
