Karl-Anthony Towns and the Timberwolves have come to terms on a four-year, $214 million supermax deal extension that will keep him in Minnesota through the 2027\u20132028 campaign. When he led the Timberwolves to just their second playoff berth since 2004, the former No. 1 selection in the 2015 NBA Draft was chosen to the all-NBA third team.<\/p>\n

KAT qualified for the supermax provision thanks to the distinction. Towns<\/a> shot 52.9 percent from the field and 41 percent from the 3-point range this season, averaging 24.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game. To remain with their current teams, Booker and Towns just inked super-max deal extensions.<\/p>\n

Devin Booker also agreed<\/a> to a supermax deal extension for $224 million over four years. Team management is quite important at a time when stars travel about a lot. However, a team has more ability to reject a trade request or to obtain a higher return in trade the longer a player is under contract with it.<\/p>\n
