Talk about coming in hot.
The Wolves reportedly weren’t interested in the Griffin for Towns trade.
“The trade proposal didn’t advance past an exploratory call from the Clippers as Minnesota declined,” Scotto wrote, citing sources. “Minnesota views Towns, the former No. 1 overall pick of the 2015 draft, as a franchise-caliber player and a vital piece of the future who is not for sale at this time.”
