Just putting some trade ideas out there for fun, not meant to be taken seriously.

Timberwolves:

• Lose Karl Anthony Towns

• Receive OG Anunoby and Chris Boucher

Raptors:

• Give up Anunoby

• Receive Towns

Several thoughts are behind this trade. First Towns would make a great pair with Siakam. He adds some shooting and some more offensive kick to an already strong frontcourt. The Raptors would be going all in on a Barnes, Siakam, Towns trio. The Raptors decide they want to focus on Barnes development over Anunoby's as the starting small forward.

On the Wolves, Anunoby would have ample opportunity to show off more on ball skill that he has claimed to want to showcase. He should be the team's second option in this scenario behind only Anthony Edwards. The Wolves also take a chance here in order to lean into a defensive identity. A lineup of Conley, Edwards, Anunoby, McDaniels, and Gobert would be one of the best defensive lineups in the NBA.
