I think there were some questions if Towns would be getting the max or super max. The article below indicates Towns would be only getting the max. See link to article below.
Like Booker, Towns is eligible for the rookie max contract extension this summer and would be a restricted free agent in 2019.
Like Booker, it is unlikely Towns would want to turn down a max offer from the Wolves. They can offer more money and this would provide insurance from loss of earning power for a young player.
However, it does make Towns future contract more attractive since it would not be a super max contract if the Suns were to trade for him and the Wolves did not want to make this financial commitment.
For the sake of conversation, could Towns be signed to a max offer by the Wolves this summer and then
immediately be traded to the Suns in a sign-and-trade for the #1 pick?
We do know Booker and Towns are friends and the Suns want to keep Booker happy. It may take Ayton a few years to get to the level of Towns.
Only kicking the tires here with a little more information.
