this summer is for the Timberwolves to hold onto to Karl-Anthony Towns and "run it back" in 2024-25, what if keeping Towns means losing Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker?
"If you're talking about paying both of those guys raises as the cap is starting to go up at the same time that you're already starting out in the second apron and you gotta figure out kind of what's the succession plan for Mike Conley at point guard, all of those questions start to lead you to, if you're going to shed some payroll to be able to re-sign those guys or redistribute your payroll differently, it's easier to do that this...
Is Towns more valuable than the combination of Reid and Alexander-Walker? That's the question the Timberwolves may have to answer. Reid's per-36 minutes statistics are remarkably similar to Towns, so one can make the argument that Towns could be replaced without by Reid without a significant drop in production.
Another option would be trading Rudy Gobert and his max contract. Are they ready do that and run with Towns and Reid in the starting lineup? Gobert isn't mentioned much in the media as a trade possibility so it very well could be a KAT trade or bust.
