Mavericks Not Interested In Signing Jaylen Nowell

Jul 30, 2023 9:04 AM

Jaylen Nowell is one of the better free agents still on the market. The Dallas Mavericks were rumored to have interest in signing Nowell, but those rumors seem unfounded, according to Marc Stein.

I know there were some recent reports that Jaylen Nowell from Minnesota is a potential target. I was actually told the Mavericks are not really in that race at this point," Stein said. "So, to this point, I would scratch Nowell as a target for the Mavericks, at least that was that’s what I was told yesterday."

Nowell averaged a career-high 10.8 points per game on 45% shooting for the Timberwolves last season.

Knicks Haven't Expressed Interest In Trading For Karl-Anthony Towns

Jul 20, 2023 12:21 PM

The New York Knicks have not expressed any interest in trading for Karl-Anthony Towns, a source tells Fred Katz of The Athletic.

Towns has been linked with the Knicks due to the CAA representation and also their abundance of future draft picks. The Minnesota Timberwolves, however, have set a "sky-high price" on Towns.

With the money owed to Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid at the center position, many have speculated that the Wolves could eventually trade Towns.

Karl-Anthony Towns Came Up In Wolves' Trade Talks Before Draft

Jul 13, 2023 9:44 PM

The future of Karl-Anthony Towns with the Minnesota Timberwolves is unclear as he begins Year 1 of his four-year, $224 million supermax extension. With the Wolves trading control of their draft to the Utah Jazz for Rudy Gobert, a trade of Towns is seen by many as the most feasible way for the franchise to balance out their roster around Anthony Edwards. Further complicating the Minnesota roster was their three-year, $42 million extension for Naz Reid.

The Wolves reportedly had some level of trade talks involving Towns in June.

"There were talks between the Timberwolves and other teams before the draft and Towns' name came up," said Ian Begley on Zach Lowe's podcast. "I don't know how aggressive the Timberwolves were with Towns, if at all."

Towns is represented by Jessica Holtz of CAA.
