Ayton will be better than Towns! Forget it. However, I bet its about Thibs. It would be a misery to have that guy as a coach. He screeches constantly.

Towns to Memphis for the #4 pick and something would make sense. Memphis gets a proven commodity and Thibs can take Bamba or Jackson and get his defensive center.

The Wolves can get more than #4 pick than Karl Anthony Towns.

Shoot, I would too, but the Suns best player would like his bestie, haha.

Not saying y'all are wrong, but why would you prefer Ayton to KAT?

More upside, more years of control.

That's silly. KAT is still under his rookie deal; and more upside?! He is 22 years, averaged 21/12 this year, shot 50% FG/40% 3PT and blocked 1.4 shots per game. Come on.

I guess there is a limit on how much Devin “would love to play” with Ayton...

KAT has already shown that he can adapt his offense to todays game, rebounds at a high rate, elite FT shooter, totally misused in the playoffs because Thibs loves his guys. Him and Booker would be a pretty good foundation for the next 10 years. Ayton could be as good as Towns, I dont think he will offensively, he's just not as nimble or smooth and his shot doesn't look nearly as good. It's tough, gun to my head, I'd take Towns.
Love, Hurts.

I would do it without the gun. KAT for #1 and call it a day unless Doncic is some sort of Second Coming and we are taking the “Wings Army” path.

And considering that Karl’s number on Minnesota is 32, maybe Devin is sending a message into showing him with #1 on the picture. What was his number in college?

Even bigger news, as the message remains: “Get me KAT”

Towns is really really good offensively. Probably the best shooting big man in the game. His defense isn't great, but I'm more confident in KAT than Ayton

His defense just leaves so much to be desired. He just does not move his feet well to me.
