With training camp around the corner and the start of the regular season on the horizon, the New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves authored a stunning, late-night blockbuster trade on Friday night.
The Knicks agreed to a deal to acquire center Karl-Anthony Towns from the Timberwolves in exchange for forward Julius Randle, guard Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round draft pick via the Detroit Pistons. The Athletic's Shams Charania, who was first to report the deal, added that a third team, the Charlotte Hornets, received guard/forward DaQuan Jeffries, draft compensation and salary from the Knicks in the Towns deal.
