We’ve spoken this offseason about a trade of Karl-Anthony Towns for Scoot Henderson. We’ve spoken about resetting the current timeline to get more in line with a long-term core of Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels. We’ve spoken about the new CBA necessitating moving a big contract in the next calendar year if the Minnesota Timberwolves can’t prove to be a title contender with the current core.
So, what if we solve that problem not by trading a big contract for smaller, younger, and cheaper assets, but by swapping a big deal for a big deal and really and truly turning this team into a title contender?
