<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-rudy-gobert-and-stars-that-could-be-traded-during-the-draft-20220524-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> is known for its extremely high level of competition. Reaching the elite of its structures is extremely complicated, but staying there is even more so. Thus, every season, those who proved to be superlative with their respective teams receive the distinction of being included in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/draymond-green-digs-deep-in-the-luka-doncic-lebron-james-comparisons-20220520-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>All-NBA Team</strong></a>. For a franchise like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/matt-barnes-destroys-patrick-beverley-over-chris-paul-slander-20220517-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Minnesota Timberwolves</strong></a>, the fact that one of their players, like<strong> Karl-Anthony Towns</strong>, achieves this distinction multiple times is a source of pride.</p>
<p>Founded in 1989, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-trade-rumors-timberwolves-could-move-one-of-their-all-stars-20220506-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Timberwolves</a> is a franchise that season after season struggles to be at least an NBA contender. And at least from 1997 to 2004 they did it by qualifying for the playoffs consecutively throughout those years. However, they have only been able to win just one divisional title, precisely in 2004.</p>
<p>This season, the Timberwolves managed to qualify for the Playoffs after finishing in good position in the <strong>Wester Conference</strong> with a 46-36 record. However, they were eliminated in the first round of this stage after losing their series 4-2 to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/charles-barkley-mocks-ja-morant-over-jordan-pooles-alleged-dirty-foul-20220509-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Memphis Grizzlies.</strong></a><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/why-wont-ja-morant-play-for-the-grizzlies-against-the-warriors-in-game-5-of-the-nba-playoffs-20220510-0037.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong></strong></a></p>
<h2>The All-NBA Team and the Minnesota Timberwolves players</h2>
<p>Few <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/zach-lowe-says-no-nba-star-has-endured-as-much-trash-talk-as-russell-westbrook-20220318-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnesota</a> players have had the opportunity to be considered for membership in such a distinguished conglomerate. Only five have been honored. However, this group must be divided into those who have achieved it on several occasions and those who have done it only once, at least wearing the Timberwolves jersey.</p>
<p>Those Timberwolves players who have earned the right to be included in the All-NBA Team on only one occasion, regardless of whether it is on the first, second or third team, are <strong>Sam Cassell and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/how-far-has-jimmy-butler-made-it-in-the-nba-playoffs-20220515-0025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Butler</a></strong>. In the particular case of the latter, he has four nominations distributed among three teams: <strong>Chicago Bulls</strong> (1), <strong>Minnesota Timberwolves</strong> (1) and <strong>Miami Heat</strong> (2).</p>
<p>Thus, Minnesota’s honor roll is composed of a Hall of Famer, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/2022-nba-playoffs-jayson-tatum-surpassed-kevin-garnett-in-a-playoff-legacy-stat-20220523-0038.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kevin Garnett</strong></a>, who debuted and retired with this team. The power forward made the All-NBA Team 9 times, 8 of them with the Timberwolves and 1 with the Boston Celtics, 4 in the First Team.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/international-nba-players-taken-1st-overall-in-the-draft-20200805-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karl-Anthony Towns</a> </strong>is one of the most talented players in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> and it’s not even close. However, given how poorly the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/minnesota%C2%A0timberwolves-t100374" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnesota Timberwolves</a></strong> have fared since he made it to the league,<strong> he doesn’t have much of a reputation as a winner</strong> around his colleagues.</p>
<p>Some NBA players simply don’t seem to like KAT. They’ve constantly taken shots at him, calling him soft, and recalling his incidents with <strong>Jimmy Butler</strong>. Towns, while unfazed by this, isn’t likely to come back from that any time soon.</p>
<p>For whatever reason, some of his peers don’t seem to like him at all. That’s why it wasn’t much of a surprise to see big stars of the game calling him out for<strong> talking about Russell Westbrook and how much he cares about stats.</strong></p>
<h2>Karl-Anthony Towns Says Russell Westbrook Chases Stats</h2>
<p><em><strong>“He definitely gets stats. He chases stats. I think he’s a helluva player though,</strong></em>” Towns said on a now-viral video.<em><strong>“You know how hard it is to get a triple-double… and he plays hella hard. I just think that sometimes he plays too quick. He tries to do too much. Trust your teammates, move around a little bit. He’s a helluva player bro.”</strong></em></p>

<h2>Draymond Green Claps Back At Towns</h2>
<p><strong>Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green</strong> didn’t seem to care about Towns’ comments and recalled one time his team was beating the Timberwolves by 20 points and he was still out there chasing stats with a couple of minutes left in the game:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I once watched from the bench due to us beating the Twolves a** and he was in the game down 20 with 2 mins to go. Come on man. Stop talking to people about the ‘bros’ and yelling this is a ‘brotherhood,&apos;”</strong></em> Green wrote.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>Joel Embiid Chimes In, Takes A Massive Shot At KAT</h2>
<p><strong>Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid </strong>also made the most of the chance to take yet another shot at him. While not addressing his comments on Westbrook directly, Embiid let him know that he has yet to prove himself in the league and that’s why other players don’t respect him:</p>
<p><em><strong>“Imagine talking after a 20 pts loss. You hate to see it lmao. Go ahead using that pic of me caring about losing in the 2nd round OF THE PLAYOFFS. Oh wait, you’ve never been there. You don’t know what is like. No (Cap) boy finally won 3 games and he’s talking and I know you ain’t talking. You’ve been a p*ssy your whole life. That’s why you were treated like a b*tch boy by you know who. I ain’t gonna put out your business by I got the facts about you. Don’t get it twisted, I OWN YOU,”</strong></em> Embiid commented.</p>

<p>Towns is one of the best big men in the league. Offensively, he can do it all. Defensively, he’s got the potential to also be very good, but his character has often been in question. Now, he’s got a prime opportunity to <strong>silence his critics once and for all.</strong></p>

<p>Year after year, we’ve seen shocking moves go down. Everyone’s perplexed when they announce that a superstar is switching teams, and sometimes,<strong> not even they know that they were supposed to be moved.</strong></p>
<p>This season won’t be the exception to that rule. With multiple players already at the center of trade rumors, we’re going to let you know about the top <strong>5 All-Stars that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-player-every-team-should-trade-20210621-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could be traded</a> this offseason.</strong></p>

<h2>NBA Rumors: The 5 Stars Most Potential To Be Traded This Offseason</h2>
<h2>5. Pascal Siakam</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210719_BUS_173131_pascal_siakam.jpg_22993414_7351e10e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Pascal Siakam. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Potential Destinations: </strong><em>Chicago Bulls, Golden State Warriors, Charlotte Hornets</em></p>
<p><strong>Pascal Siakam </strong>was the second-best player during the <strong>Toronto Raptors’</strong> title run in 2019. Then, when he was asked to step up in Kawhi Leonard’s absence, he was quite underwhelming and kind of regressed.</p>
<p>But, put in the right situation, Siakam could still make a huge impact given his play on both ends of the floor, versatility, and ability to knock down shots from all three levels. The Raptors are expected to rebuild with <strong>Kyle Lowry</strong> heading out the door, so they would be smart to fetch offers for him.</p>
<h2>4. Kristaps Porzingis</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210719_BUS_173131_kristaps_porzingis.jpg_22993414_a68f0ace.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kristaps Porzingis. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Potential Destinations:</strong> <em>Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings</em></p>
<p><strong>Kristaps Porzingis</strong>‘ lack of motivation was evident in the playoffs this season. His feel for the game looked off, and he just admitted that he’s struggled to adapt to a lesser role playing next to <strong>Luka Doncic. </strong>If that’s not begging for a trade, then I don’t know what is.</p>
<p>Then again, we have some tough news for him. He’s not going to be ‘The Man’ on any team that could be interested in his services. He’s <strong>extremely talented</strong> and has proven to be an impactful player when locked in, but the only teams where he could be the go-to guy are likey lottery teams at this point.</p>
<h2>3. Karl-Anthony Towns</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210719_BUS_173131_karl-anthony_towns.jpg_22993414_2352000d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Karl-Anthony Towns. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Potential Destinations:</strong><em> New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks</em></p>
<p><strong>Karl-Anthony Towns </strong>is perhaps the best scoring big man in the league and that goes without saying. Also, the<strong> Minnesota Timberwolves</strong> have been near unstoppable when he, D’Angelo Russell, and Anthony Edwards were all on the court. Then again, that didn’t happen too often.</p>
<p>The truth about Towns is that he’s injury-prone and there have been multiple rumors about his frustration after all the losses. The Timberwolves could still land <strong>multiple first-round picks</strong> and even players that could fit their roster right now (i.e. Porzingis) while Towns could flourish in a contender.</p>
<h2>2. Ben Simmons</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210719_BUS_173131_ben_simmons.jpg_22993414_5f8f6992.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Ben Simmons. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Potential Destinations:</strong><em>Golden State Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers, Minnesota Timberwolves</em></p>
<p><strong>Ben Simmons</strong> is way too good to be singled out as the only reason why the <strong>Philadelphia 76ers</strong> collapsed in the playoffs again. But Philly fans are as hard as they get and they’re not likely to forgive him any time soon. That’s why multiple contenders would be wise to try and lure him while they can.</p>
<p>His trade value is at an all-time low right now but the Sixers still want an All-Star caliber in return for him. Given his playmaking <strong>and ability to guard one through five</strong>, it’s not going to be that hard finding a trade suitor for his services.</p>
<h2>1. Damian Lillard</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210719_BUS_173131_damian_lillard.jpg_22993414_82b11ee6.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Damian Lillard. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Potential Destinations</strong>: <em>Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers</em></p>
<p>And last but not least, we find Damian Lillard. Lillard has clearly outgrown the Portland Trail Blazers and hasn’t hesitated to express his frustration and concern with the current status of the team. While he denied that he has requested a trade, he did say that<strong> he hasn’t made a decision on his future.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The clock is ticking on Lillard </strong>and everybody knows that. He’s still under contract for the next three years so trading for him will be expensive and difficult but also worth it. He’s one of the best scorers in the world and a great leader, and the Blazers just aren’t built to win a ring right now.</p>

NBA Rumors: 5 All-Stars that could be traded this offseason - Bolavip US

<p><strong>Karl-Anthony Towns</strong> has lived up to the expectations that came with being the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/international-nba-players-taken-1st-overall-in-the-draft-20200805-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first-overall pick. </a>While he’s yet to thrive in the playoffs, he’s one of the<strong> best big men in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>, </strong>and – as it has happened before – it seems like his talents are going to waste in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/minnesota%C2%A0timberwolves-t100374" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>Minnesota Timberwolves.</strong></a></p>
<p>The Timberwolves have only made the playoffs once since drafting Towns and, even though they have a promising core and some<strong> interesting draft assets</strong>, it seems like they’re years away from contending.</p>
<p>That’s why multiple people have speculated about an imminent trade for the Dominican-American big, with the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/new-york-knicks-t92326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Knicks</a> </strong>as potential trade destinations.</p>

<p></p></div>
<h2>Warriors And Knicks Want To Trade For Karl-Anthony Towns</h2>
<p><em><strong>“I don’t think the Knicks honestly have the assets to get him. </strong>I don’t think Barrett, Robinson, and whatever picks they’re going to have since they’re not going to be in the lottery will be good enough for Towns, who’s one of the best offensive players in the league and has three years left on his deal.”</em></p>
<p><em><strong>“The team that I would watch is Golden State</strong>. That’s the team that maybe they need veterans around Steph Curry and not their young pieces and maybe lottery picks or things like that. Again, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I don’t think the Wolves are going to trade Towns,”</em> <strong>Jon Krawczynsky of The Athletic said.</strong></p>
<p>The Knicks have enough enticing assets to pull off a deal but <strong>Tom Thibodeau</strong> and Towns didn’t exactly click when Thibs coached the Wolves. Moreover, the Warriors could put together an even more impressive trade package.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<div id="relatedNews-67">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Then again, it’s also worth noting that the Timberwolves have looked pretty good when <strong>Towns, D’Angelo Russell, and Anthony Edwards </strong>have played together, so perhaps the team will look to run it back and give their young core another shot before breaking it up.</p>

<p><strong>Tom Thibodeau’s</strong> tenure with the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/minnesota%C2%A0timberwolves-t100374" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnesota Timberwolves </a></strong>was full of ups and downs. He put together a competitive team and managed to put an end to their playoff drought but things still end up in a disaster.</p>
<p>The Timberwolves’ locker room was out of control.<strong> Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns</strong> didn’t get along because Jimmy felt like he didn’t care about winning. Also, there were some rumors about Butler and Towns’ girlfriend hooking up.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, it was coach Thibs the one to take the blame and he was fired almost right away. Needless to say, with him and Butler leaving, the team sunk <strong>into a mediocrity spiral once again.</strong></p>

<h2>Tom Thibodeau Wants To Reunite With Karl-Anthony Towns</h2>
<p>Now, however, it seems like Thibodeau is ready to bury the hatchet and pursue one of the main responsiblefor his departure. According to<strong> Stefan Bondy of New York Daily News</strong>, he wants the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-knicks-t92326" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Knicks</a> to pursue Karl-Anthony Towns:</p>

<p></p>
<p><em>“I don’t know if Minnesota would ever make Karl-Anthony Towns available.<strong> But as bad as things ended for Thibodeau in Minnesota, I’ve heard that he’d be open to Karl-Anthony Towns again because Thibodeau just wants to win and he thinks Karl-Anthony Towns will help him to that end</strong>. And so I know that Karl-Anthony Towns is somebody that’s actually been reported before that the Knicks are monitoring as well,” </em>Bondy reported.</p>

<p>There’s no denying that Karl-Anthony Towns is one of themost talented players in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA. </a>And while his drive, competitiveness, and desire to win have been questioned in the past, perhaps he <strong>just needs a change of scenery.</strong></p>
<p>Now, whether the Timberwolves will ever entertain the idea of letting him walk is yet to be seen, especially after they tried to pair him with his best friend,<strong> D’Angelo Russell.</strong> But, should he become available, he’d definitely be that star the Big Apple has been craving for years.</p>

<p>Ever since the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> season stopped due to <strong>Rudy Gobert’s</strong> positive test, it seems like every decision they’ve made <strong>has been controversial</strong>. Obviously, it’s hard to please everyone and there are reasons – money – why they just can’t stop playing but it seems like they’re not listening to their players right now. If that were the case, they wouldn’t even entertain the idea of holding an <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/LeBron-James-against-having-the-All-Star-Game-considers-it-a-slap-in-the-face-20210205-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">All-Star Game</a> during a pandemic and amida complicated season with almost no rest at all.</p>

<p>Health and safety protocols aside, holding an <strong>All-Star Game </strong>will put everybody’s health at risk. The players won’t get the rest they need and the fans in the arena would be exposed. On the other hand, if there aren’t fans in attendance, then there’s not much of a point of an All-Star Game in the first place.</p>
<p>That’s why several players have expressed their thoughts against that decision, with <strong>Karl-Anthony Towns</strong> having strong words towards the league after he lost 7 family members to Covid-19 and also tested positive himself.</p>

<p><em>“Getting COVID stopped everything…I am a high-risk case. COVID did not treat me well whatsoever. A lot of scary nights. (…) A lot of long nights and the vitals weren’t good (at times).</em></p>
<p><em>Everyone is different. My underlying conditions did not play in my favor with COVID… I am the most genetically close to my mother…nothing was playing in my favor.. mental health is very real. I have dealt with it my whole life and my mother always knew how to heal me.</em></p>
<p><em>(…) I feel very guilty about the treatment I got [that] I [wish was] more widely available to anyone in the world. I feel very guilty… there is such mental strain through all this time. A feeling of guilt because of the resources I have. I wish I could (share) the resources”.</em></p>

<p>At the end of the day, the league will make the decision that falls in line <strong>with their interests</strong> but it doesn’t seem like any player is actually on board with playing that game, so it’ll be interesting to see how this situation unfolds.</p>
