3. Trade for Karl-Anthony Towns
This is a long shot, but reports came out of Karl-Anthony Towns being unhappy with the Minnesota Timberwolves. If this situation escalates, the T-Wolves may have to decide between him and head coach Tom Thibodeau on who to keep.
If they’re smart, they dump Thibs and keep their once-in-a-lifetime franchise player. But if they go the other route, could we actually see Thibs and Minnesota trade away Towns?
Devin Booker certainly hopes so:

The Suns will have to give up the No. 1 pick and maybe more to get Towns, but he could be exactly what they need. He’s definitely a better option than Ayton, and at only 22 years old, he’s young enough to be a long-term franchise player.
Pair him with his former Kentucky teammate in Booker, and Phoenix could end up having a lethal duo in the West that can dominate for years to come.
