Would this trade make sense for the Minnesota Timberwolves?
Karl-Anthony Towns signed a max contract to remain with the Minnesota Timberwolves and he was viewed to be the franchise player in Minnesota. This has been the case but there have been some loud rumors over the last year.
He has been linked to many teams and if he is moved, the Timberwolves would get a huge return for their best player. This might be beneficial for a rebuilding franchise.
The franchise-cornerstone going forward for the Timberwolves needs to be Anthony Edwards given the many losing seasons under Karl-Anthony Towns. Edwards is a shooting guard that can pair well with Tyrese Haliburton. That is a legitimate backcourt to rely on moving forward.
Both Edwards and Haliburton are second-year players that could have bright futures. Holmes and Barnes would bring experience. They both turned in strong statistical seasons for Sacramento which proved there is plenty in the tank. Along with draft picks, the Timberwolves would get some players to help their rebuild.

At the end of the day, this should be the ultimate goal for Minnesota. They have not found success with Towns so trading him away would not hurt much. This is a chance to take the rebuild to the next level.
