The Timberwolves are emerging as a potential destination for Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the Bucks would reportedly seek Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, Terrence Shannon Jr., and Minnesota’s two tradable first-round picks in return, per @sam_amick & @eric_nehm
“The Timberwolves, meanwhile, are also seen by some as an emerging option for the Bucks. While Antetokounmpo is known to prefer a trade involving a team in the Eastern Conference, league sources say the Bucks are interested in what Minnesota has to offer. If the Timberwolves want to get into the mix, league sources say the Bucks would want a package including Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, Terrence Shannon Jr. and their two tradable first-round picks (No. 29 in this year’s draft and their 2033 pick).”

I’m stroking the flame a bit here, but Tim Connelly / Minnesota Timberwolves thinking they’re selling high on Karl-Anthony Towns and him being a firm All-NBA / 1B on NBA Finalist is just bad.
The process does not matter when you are this off about a player. They thought the injury seasons and roller coaster playoffs were indicative of Towns’ progression, instead of just bad luck / speed bumps.
Although Adam Silver did not specify anything about a team moving from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference amid potential expansion to Las Vegas and Seattle, the conversation I've had with multiple league personnel is that the Minnesota Timberwolves are the likliest.
