Revisiting the Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle trade: Turns out to be win-win

Summary

Nutrition label

71% Informative

Karl-Anthony Towns was traded for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo .

The Knicks had to make the trade, they needed a center.

Towns provided much more than a big body, his shooting filled a specific need on a team that plays Josh Hart ( 33.3% from beyond the arc) and some inconsistent shooters big minutes.

The Timberwolves can draft someone such as Liam McNeeley , the UConn wing, or Michigan big man Danny Wolf , or maybe one of a number of international players expected to go around that spot. Whoever the Timberwolves pick will be asked to step up and play Day 1. But with Randle playing well and the Minnesota back in the conference finals, this trade was a win for the Timberwolves , too..
