Bulls Receive: Karl-Anthony Towns, Ricky Rubio, Ed Davis, Jaylen Nowell
Timberwolves Receive: Wendell Carter Jr., Lauri Markkanen, Otto Porter Jr., Chandler Hutchison, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2023 1st Round Pick
On the outside looking in, the Timberwolves fans may not love what they see. Giving up Towns will be a tough move for the franchise to make. Not only is he a superstar, he has also endeared himself to the fan base.
However, if Towns is unhappy and would prefer a trade, the Wolves will need to look for the best deal they can find. That might just come from the Bulls, who have a ton of young talent to trade. In this deal, the Timberwolves would be getting quite a few talented young pieces and two valuable first-round picks.
There are a lot of other teams who might put together attractive trade packages as well. But, this one could make sense for both teams involved. They would both be getting what they need if a Towns trade is needed to be made.
Let’s take a closer look at this trade for both the Bulls and Timberwolves and why they should consider pulling the trigger.
