Why Portland do this?

Karl-Anthony Towns is perhaps the best scoring big man in the league. The truth about Towns is that he's injury-prone and there have been multiple rumors about his frustration after all the losses but if portland needs to keep lillard happy this is their best option and its a fantastic destination for KAT and Portland will be strong contenders with a big 3 of Damian Lillard,KAT and CJ McCollum

Predicted Starting Lineup

PG - Damian Lillard

SG - CJ McCollum

SF - Norman Powell

PF - Derrick Jones Jr

C - Karl Anthony Towns
