    and is planning to request a trade this summer. I guess this rumor is getting lost in the din of the playoffs. He's supposedly come to the conclusion that he can't win in Minny.

    This could conceivable set up a 3-way trade with the Pels involving AD to a third team.

    Or if not...a pile of picks and a nice young player under contract long term would make sense.

    Towns is better offense

    Capela is better defensively

    Never liked Towns. He's a major reason why the TWolves haven't won ****. Not only is he an atrocious defender, he's one of the softest players in the league.

    Would trade him for Clint anyday...he would be the best Center in the NBA with Harden.

    True, but KAT has skills that Capela will dream of having. There's still a ton of potential there. I think unless you win the championship this year (If you do then you don't shake up the team obviously) this is a trade I'd do all day. Especially since the Rockets have a long history of training up Big men. People thought Yao was soft when he got here too. KAT will play better under us and Harden has never had a more talented big to PNR with. I think we'd be unstoppable.

    If this is true, the league has a massive problem on its hands. KAT signed a super-max extension that pays him $27M starting this season and now he wants out? Players have figured out that all they need to do is play through their rookie extensions, get paid and then demand a trade. But Minnesota still has leverage because he is signed through 2023-24l; let him be pissed, he's the one who signed a deal.

    The issue is that the one piece of leverage that smaller teams have to keep their star players - the super max - is being abused by players. The New York and Los Angeles teams can't sign everyone, so I don't know what the end game is for all of these unhappy stars.
