The Minnesota Timberwolves are making big changes this offseason under new executive Tim Connelly, but the future for Karl-Anthony Towns might already be determined by the new front office.

Towns, a three-time All-Star selection and the reigning NBA three-point contest champion, is coming off another strong season in Minnesota. The 26-year-old averaged more than 24 points per game for the fourth consecutive year and the Timberwolves reached the playoffs.

After dealing with injuries and inconsistency in recent years, Towns played 74 games during the regular season. With the face of the franchise available, the Timberwolves finished with a 46-36 record to snap their three-year postseason drought.

Success also means things are about to get a lot more expensive. While Towns is still under contract through the next two seasons, owed $68.9 million guaranteed, he is inching closer towards unrestricted free agency in 2024.

In an appearance on the HoopsHype podcast, Timberwolves reporter Jon Krawczynski said he anticipates the team offering Towns a max contract offer. Once the proposal is made, the expectation is the All-Star big man will accept it.
