Karl-Anthony Towns knows the Minnesota Timberwolves have a great chance to fight for the championship next season.
The superstar big man stated that the Timberwolves have no excuses this season and it will be a failure if they don’t win the title.
“It’s go time. The [Rudy Gobert] trade happens. There’s no more time. There are no more excuses. We’ve got to get it done now. It’s championship now or bust. Got to go out there and get the job done.
I expect a lot of winning for sure. I’m not up here just blowing smoke. I really want to try and bring a championship to Minnesota.
I think that Rudy adds a huge component to that. He’s going to be a massive part of us being a championship team,” Karl-Anthony Towns told media on Friday.
