Portland Trail Blazers: Rumors about KAT heading to Rip City heating up
Rumors about the Portland Trail Blazers pursuing Karl-Anthony Towns are heating up. Is there any fire to this smoke?
In conclusion
The elephant in the room might be that Minnesota would take the trade package mentioned earlier. They will absolutely want at least 2 of the 3 between Simons/Sharpe/2023 lottery pick, and in no way should the Portland Trail Blazers give up that much.
KAT still has value but for the right team. Portland is not that team. Depleting most/all of their future assets for a player that hasn’t been able to keep his current team above water is a huge risk without a safety net if the risk fails.
Lots of rumors float to the surface this time of year. I don’t think there is much interest from the Portland Trail Blazers’ side in Townes.
Minnesota will find a trade partner if they decide to move on from him. It just won’t and shouldn’t be the Portland Trail Blazers. And it looks like the majority of Rip City fans feel the same.
Do you think the Blazers should go after Karl-Anthony Towns this summer? If so, what do you see as a fair trade for both sides?
