In his latest Stein Line, Marc Stein reports that former Timberwolves executive Gersson Rosas, now a senior VP in the Knicks’ front office, played a significant role in orchestrating New York’s trade for Karl-Anthony Towns.
Just days ago, the Knicks completed the blockbuster trade, sending Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and a first-round pick to the Timberwolves, while the Charlotte Hornets received DaQuan Jeffries and draft compensation to facilitate the deal. By pairing Towns with Jalen Brunson, the Knicks have formed a formidable offensive duo, with Towns’ scoring (22.9 PPG, 10 RPG) and shooting prowess (40% 3-point career average) providing both floor spacing and rim protection.
