Minnesota Timberwolves Big Moves: Pairing Towns with Gobert & Betting Big on Edwards for NBA 2023-24 Title Race!
Minnesota Timberwolves want to be the serious title contenders for the NBA 2023-24 Season. For this, they have paired Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert. The duo will play alongside the franchise superstar player, Anthony Edwards.
The Minnesota got very expensive in this season. They had the second-highest payroll in the NBA league. They offered a max extension to their superstar player, Edward, alongside Towns. Moreover, they have Jaden McDaniels, who is also eligible for an extension next year.

Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks? The NBA Star’s Potential Move
It is expected that the Karl-Anthony Towns will be on the trading block next year. One of the potential trade destinations for Towns could be the New York Knicks. The Knicks are currently eyeing the star’s situation with the franchise, as reported by Stefan Bondy of The New York Post.
The Knicks are in the hunt for a superstar, and Towns is a perfect fit under the criteria. Not only the Knicks, there could be other teams as well who are eyeing Towns’ situation with the Wolves.
Towns have been together with his coach, Tim Thibodeau, so it would be interesting to see if he is with the coach, Tom, when he is being traded to the Knicks.
Towns shared with Bondy:
“I got no problems with Thibs. We’ve been squashed that.”
I still look at Thibs as one of the best Xs and Os coaches I’ve been able to play for. He breathes winning and I got nothing but respect for him.”
On the other hand, coach Thibodeau appreciated Towns. He said:
“Watching the progress he’s made throughout his career, he’s as gifted as they come.”
“When you look at an offensive player, particularly a big, the skill set that he has, I think we all saw, to win the three-point contest and stuff like that, there’s nothing he can’t do offensively. He has continued to get better, I think. He had some injuries to deal with. I watched him play in FIBA (the World Cup, for the Dominican Republic), he played really well there. He’s really, really gifted.”
