The Wolves see this as a way of adding depth, leaning in on Edwards, McDaniels and Reid and lengthening the window of competitiveness. They have long coveted DiVincenzo. Randle’s scoring can help. The Detroit 1st is a significant asset moving forward. – 11:03 PM

The LA Clippers are no longer the only team that lost a 2024 All-Star now that Karl-Anthony Towns and Julius Randle have been traded for each other
LAC remains the only team to lose a 2024 All-Star without getting one in return – 10:56 PM

This is a big bet on Ant, but that’s an easy bet to make.
BUT it could also be the rise of Naz Reid which would be fascinating for this Wolves roster.
If the near-future form is Conley-Edwards-McDaniels-Reid-Gobert with Randle as the 6th man, sign me up. – 10:53 PM

Initial reaction: Not really sold on this for the Knicks. Better offensively … maybe. Is KAT going to give more than DiVincenzo & Randle combined? Worse defensively. – 10:43 PM

The Wolves made Jokic’s life difficult thanks to the tenacity and size of Towns bothering Jokic with Gobert patrolling the rim.
That strategy works a lot less effectively if you replace Randle and Towns in my opinion. – 10:39 PM

Towns didn’t get enough credit for how much better he was during MIN’s run compared to past ones. The Rudy combo started working as they imagined. Back to square 1 in NY but he’s still so talented. Randle, Donte solid returns for a player who’d be tough to trade later…good deal. – 10:39 PM

I like that trade for the Knicks. Timberwolves’ side is a little murkier. They got two very good players out of it, but not sure about that Randle-Gobert fit. This seems mostly motivated by the tax apron, and you have to wonder how their ownership situation factored in – 10:31 PM

The Knicks were canvassing the league this week in search of center improvements, sources said, and made it known Julius Randle was available. While New York had interest in additions like Clint Capela, Karl-Anthony Towns is one hell of an answer to Mitchell Robinson’s injury. – 10:29 PM

I hate this trade for Minnesota so much lol
The spacing with Randle/Gobert is NASTY and they just got OLDER and SMALLER
If you thought Towns post game was any bit dissatisfying, what do you think Randle gonna do down low 😳 – 10:28 PM

Detroit, Atlanta, Miami among the other teams NYK talked to about trades of Julius Randle, per SNY sources. MIN slashes its future payroll by acquiring Randle, who can be an FA this summer. Knicks get big man they’ve long had on radar in Karl Towns. – 10:24 PM

More on this storyline
Jon Krawczynski: The Wolves see this as a way of adding depth, leaning in on Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid and lengthening the window of competitiveness. They have long coveted Donte DiVincenzo. Julius Randle’s scoring can help. The Detroit 1st is a significant asset moving forward. -via x.com / September 27, 2024
Chris Herring: Just two days ago, at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new school in the Bronx, Julius Randle—the longest-tenured player on the team—was honored for donating $1.3 million to help that effort. Leon Rose and Thibodeau were present, among others. Now he’s headed to Minny. Incredible. -via x.com / September 27, 2024
Shams Charania: Knicks are sending salary — including DaQuan Jeffries — and draft compensation to Charlotte in three-team Karl-Anthony Towns/Julius Randle deal, sources tell me and @JonKrawczynski . -via x.com / September 27, 2024
