Show Notes
The Ringer’s Howard Beck and Michael Pina fire up the mics to break down the ins and outs of the Knicks-Timberwolves blockbuster that sends Karl Anthony Towns to New York in exchange for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. The guys discuss Michael getting a tip earlier in the day that the deal was going down (2:25) before comparing the trade to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s trade of James Harden in 2012 (6:00).
Then, they attempt to answer the all-important question: does this trade actually move the needle for the Knicks and Timberwolves (16:51) before making predictions on where each team will rank in their respective conferences (37:50).
Also, be sure to check out Michael Pina's latest piece: The Karl-Anthony Towns Trade Could Haunt the Knicks and Wolves.
