Would need to surround him and Dame with good defenders but it’d be fun with the bonus of no more Nurk

Please no- overpriced, injury prone, and can’t guard. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good basketball player, and an okay dude- just not a good fit for Portland. We’re already the worst defense in the league. Gimme Siakam, OG, or Bridges any day over KAT

If we give up on defense and the offense is the top in the west, I have hope.

Wemby next to KAT might work.

I mean, sure, whatever, fine.
But I just don’t want Minnesota to be the team that fleeces us and lives fat off our hard earned capital for the next 10 years.

Please no. We don’t need another Center without a post game that starts the season out of shape and plays soft while having a bad attitude.

Trading in our “Oops, all guards!” lineup for an “Oops, all offense!” one isn’t exactly an improvement

More defense please.

If this is a move and not the only move, I see a way this could work. We would need some defense first wings (maybe resign MT?, bring back Grant). Our center position is a major weakness, it’s not great on either end of the court. If you got KAT for the right price and could bring in the appropriate role players, I could see it working.

His entire article is aggregating one paragraph from a heavy.com article titled :
‘Everyone Knows’ Knicks Eyeing Trade for Star Karl-Anthony Towns: NBA Execs
>Among the teams executives mentioned as potential suitors for Towns: Brooklyn and Miami (two teams that will inevitably come up in any potential superstar trade talks in the next six months, though the Heat’s Jimmy Butler has a rocky history with Towns), Portland (in a Damian Lillard deal?) and Indiana. Should Boston consider dealing away All-Star wing Jaylen Brown, which is a longshot, the Celtics could offer the best single player in return for Towns.
The rest of it is speculating trade machine ideas.
This is not serious news or a groundbreaking scoop.

Did anyone actually read the article? It’s all speculation off of a single line from heavy.com.
Not to mention they theorize we’d trade lillard for him. Just lol

I think this is the plan:
Nurkic, Simons and Nas plus either the 2023 FRP or 1-2 future FRPs (depending on protections) for KAT.
The salary match is almost perfect.
I think it will depend on where the 2023 pick lands.

I’d be fine with it.
