Karl-Anthony Towns is heading to New York, Julius Randle is heading to Minnesota alongside Donte DiVincenzo and a future draft pick, and the NBA is heating up just days before training camps open. Which team won Friday night's blockbuster trade? Let's break it down.
1. Who won the Knicks-Wolves trade?
Dan Titus: The Wolves. The Knicks got the best player in the deal (Karl-Anthony Towns), but when evaluating the totality of this trade, Minnesota gets the edge for creating financial flexibility and adding more depth to its roster. Let's not forget Julius Randle is just two years removed from being an All-NBA player and Donte DiVincenzo was one of the most effective 3-point shooters last season.
