I definitely did not see that. I know Kat is not the centerpiece of Minnie's future but they already spent a lot to get Gobert (compared to what was given for KD), now they acquired an inflated strong forward with some health issues in Randle and a protected pick, the shooter is the real only upside imo but not worth the trade. However, I often disagree with Minnie's GM, so...
On the other side, that's a great move for NY, they lost some depth but nothing they can't look for in February among ring chasers and FAs...

I know with Hartensteins departure and Robinsons injury woes the 5 spot was an issue, but I'm not sure I like Towns for them. I'm not sure he can bring the toughness and mentality the team showed.

Randle felt like a weird foreign object after this season, bit I will miss Donte. The Villanova 4 didn't last long.

Wow what the F?! This is nuts.

I just learnt there are big financial implications on this trade for Minnesota that is now under some cap

Just realized that even though they weren’t involved in the trade Denver is a huge winner here. Felt like having 3 bigs they could put on Jokic was huge and no other team really has that.

Per The Athletic's Shams Charania, the T-Wolves are trading the three-time All-Star to the New York Knicks in exchange for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round draft pick via the Detroit Pistons.

Charania added that Charlotte Hornets are also included in the trade as part of a three-team deal. The Knicks are sending salary, including DaQuan Jeffries, and draft compensation to the Hornets in the exchange.

The draft pick is a 2025 top-13 protected pick, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.

Deal makes sense for Knicks for sure since they need center depth and I kinda see what the wolves are going for but feels a little light on the return but maybe I’m not valuing Randle right.
