Towns reminds me of Horford in some ways..but i take Towns in a second

If we were to trade Kyrie for KAT, then Minny would desperately need a center.  Maybe a trade like this could work if Boston did want to make that kind of swap:

Boston trades Kyrie for KAT (Hayward assumes point guard duties on offense with starting lineup and when neither Rozier or Smart are in)
Minny trades KAT + Wiggins for Kyrie + Bogdanovic + Cauley-Stein
Sacramento trades Bogdanovic + Cauley-Stein for Wiggins

I think Minny agrees as they acquire the best player in the deal and it helps assure Butler stays.  I think Sacramento takes this as need scoring, are shallow at the wing, and have difficulty luring max contract caliber players to sign there.  I don't think Boston accepts unless they start to believe that Kyrie is going to leave.

Only awful at defense right now.  Horford is such a good screener, and passer too facilitating the offense.  I’m not sure how good Towns is in those areas.
