Reports: Knicks acquiring Karl-Anthony Towns in 3-team deal   

September 29, 2024

Dave Campbell & Tim Reynolds | The Associated Press via NBA;

Per Shams Charania and Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, New York is adding All-Star big man Karl-Anthony Towns, sending back All-Star forward Julius Randle to the Timberwolves, along with guard Donte DiVincenzo and a protected first-round pick (via Detroit).

The Hornets soon emerged as a reportedly crucial third team in the deal, taking on DaQuan Jeffries and draft compensation to help facilitate considering the cap implications that come into play with a pair of “apron” teams.

A blockbuster trade but it appears that this is more on the salary cap situation of than anything else.
