Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) is joined by Cyrus Saatsaz (@DogSurfRoadshow) of Locked On Warriors to discuss the viability of the Golden State Warriors as a potential landing spot in a hypothetical Karl-Anthony Towns trade. If the Warriors wanted KAT, what would they have to give up? Would depleting their depth be worth it for the Warriors, and what would the Wolves require in return for their superstar big man? Ben and Cyrus debate the possibility from all angles in this crossover episode.

No they can't gsw doesn't have anything Minnesota wants
So the Warriors give the Timberwolves their trash and they get a multi time allstar? Lol. Tell this Cyrus dude to wake up.
that trade sounds like more than enough for towns. as a wolves fan i’d do that in a heart beat
Cyrus needs a hug. His ego is hurt.
Honestly, I don't love the trade proposal, but I don't hate it either.
Towns has to be traded at some point .. he is not a winner
Did you know that the Warriors GM is stepping down. Not sure Kerr is even signed.
This guy knows what he's talking about. The Rudy and KAT pairing will not work.
Did he seriously say to disregard the last two seasons of Poole, to judge his 3-pt shooting? So he’s a better shooter than what he’s literally shown and we should only judge him by his best shooting season two years ago, in less shots and with less workload? I can’t jive with that…lol
He thinks way too highly of Kuminga and Moody….potential “Superstars” with Kahwai as his comp for Kuminga?!? He was trying so hard to sell his rose colored glasses
"I want all my number 1s back. All of em."
Kat needs to lock himself in a gym with Dirk Highlights going on repeat.
Become the black dirk and we can win a title.
I worry about the fits here as well. Kuminga and McDaniels offensive overlap, where does Moody fit in? What does Poole do that ANT doesn’t do Better?
You are correct. Don't listen to this guy.
The best trade for who? To help the Warriors win yet another title and leave the Wolves with all their misc parts that dont fit what they do right now. Wolves would have to sign all these crap role players and how is Poole any different than Dlo except hes signed to more than Dlo was for the next 4 years. I hate other peoples ideas and assessments on the Wolves. Let us help you get where you want so we can keep taking 2 steps back and then in a couple years they can take Ant off our hands as well. No thanks. The Wolves keep blowing up the roster yet Towns gets the blame for the constant turnover of roster and lack of winning. It never works out for the Wolves yet they continue to let other teams fleece them of their talent.
Karl Anthony Towns for some glorified role players who don't fit and 2 picks. Wow.
Its 4 picks and a pick swap in 2028. Plus Walker Kessler and the 4 other role players. So they traded 5 1sts(one player just drafted) and 4 role players gutting all their bench depth and probably costs us Naz Reid who is 80% or more of Rudy anyways. I can't stand Rudy's fit on this team. He limits this teams offensive potential sooo badly. He only draws defenders within 5 feet of the hoop and never brings the opposing center away from the hoop.
The Wolves are at their best when Ant brings the ball up the court. Thats why I dont understand the Conley fit. With Ant running the point Conley is the most undersized SG in the league so how does that help us? Ant raises our offensive ceiling when he's creating with the ball in his hands using his bag.
Do you trust the 2 young players left over after they messed up Weisman so bad. Even Poole he has his moments with the Warriors but IDK if him jacking up those shots on the Wolves is a good idea.
Since this guy seems so dead set on trading with the Wolves ask him if he'd take Rudy off our hands for same or similar. Thats the best case scenario. He's right I don't like the pairing either Rudy is too slow and immobile and moving KAT to the 4 compounds the situation.
