The upcoming NBA season is about to start, and all the teams are getting ready for their practice camps. However, surprising news emerged on Friday about the Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Karl-Anthony Towns, who has been traded from the Timberwolves to the New York Knicks in exchange for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and a first-round pick via the Detroit Pistons.
Many players, analysts, and fans have been sharing their thoughts about the Towns deal. Fat Joe, an American rapper and well-known Knicks fan, expressed his opinion about the deal. He posted a video on his social media account in which he raised concerns about how Towns will perform with the Knicks.
“We needed height, but KAT allows us to open the floor even more because he hits that three with consistency. Now the big question is, is he an Anthony Davis type guy? One thing you got, with [Julius] Randle, you know he’s tough. He go’n bang it out with anybody. He’s tough, tough, tough. The only question they have about Karl-Anthony is, is he an Anthony Davis type player?” Joe said.
The American rapper praised Towns’ three-point shooting ability but questioned the Knicks’ decision and doubted the former Timberwolves star’s toughness against more prominent players in the league.
Rudy Gobert Sends Heartfelt Wishes for Towns
Karl-Anthony Towns was chosen as the first overall pick by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2015 NBA draft. He had an outstanding first season and was awarded the Rookie of the Year. The 28-year-old played nine seasons with the Timberwolves before being traded to the Knicks.
During his time with the Timberwolves, he formed strong relationships with his teammates. Following the news of his trade, Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert shared his thoughts and best wishes for Towns’ future journey in a recent Instagram story.
“Keep writing your unique story my brother. Grateful that I got to be a part of it.” Gobert Wrote in his Instagram story.
The 2024-25 NBA season is about to begin, and it will be exciting to see Towns playing alongside the Knicks’ star, Jalen Brunson.
