The New York Knicks are nearing a trade to acquire All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves. The trade package includes Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and a first-round pick from the Detroit Pistons. The deal is expected to help the Timberwolves reduce their future payroll, as Towns is due $220 million over the next four years. The Knicks have long been interested in Towns, aiming to bolster their frontcourt. The trade also involves the Charlotte Hornets as a third team, with the Knicks sending salary, including DaQuan Jeffries, and draft compensation to Charlotte.
