When the Minnesota Timberwolves traded forward Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks on Oct. 2, it marked the end of an era in the Twin Cities.

For nine seasons, Towns had been a fixture with the Timberwolves for every up and down. Minnesota fans had seen him win Rookie of the Year, make four All-Star teams, and transform the Timberwolves into a consistent playoff contender.
