Some rebuilding teams could decide to blow it up a bit this NBA offseason. This trade features two of them, but only one would be sending away a star. The Minnesota Timberwolves have plenty of starpower to send away if they find the right trade partner.
It would be interesting to see the Sacramento Kings as that partner. The Kings do not have much to build around other than De’Aaron Fox. They are a franchise that has struggled to find success as they have not made the postseason since 2006.
The Kings have been near the bottom of the Western Conference for years now, and that is not going to change until they begin to load up on stars in the lineup. A trade for Towns is a chance for the team to get an impact performer down low.
When discussing the Timberwolves, Karl-Anthony Towns is the only impact big man that could be moved. He is the franchise player in Minnesota, but the two sides could soon be coming to a split. A trade involving Towns has been rumored for a couple of years now, but nothing has happened.

Instead, the Timberwolves brought D’Angelo Russell to town, and if that doesn’t end up translating to major results next season, it may be time to look to rebuild around Anthony Edwards. Minnesota has made the postseason just once with Towns on the roster. Something has to give if failure continues.
A deal of this nature would be a bit of a surprise, but it would change the look of two rebuilding franchises. Here is what this potential deal between the Timberwolves and Kings might look like this offseason.
