Minnesota Timberwolves Receive: F OG Anunoby, F/C Thaddeus Young, F/C Precious Achiuwa, 2026 First-Round Pick (TOR), 2028 First-Round Pick (TOR)
Toronto Raptors Receive: F/C Karl-Anthony Towns
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have also struggled to meet expectations this season. Whether or not that was predictable depends on who you’re talking to.
They certainly made an unexpected move this summer. Moving four first-round picks (along with some quality young players) for Rudy Gobert was a bold move. After all, the Wolves already had a starting big in Towns.
The plan was to play bully ball. Towns struggles as a rim protector, so why not bring in the best rim protector in basketball?
Well, doing so has forced the Wolves to slow down their pace. It’s also forced Towns to guard the perimeter more frequently, where he’s struggled even more.

Would this package entice them to do so?
