Per The Athletic's Shams Charania, the T-Wolves are trading the three-time All-Star to the New York Knicks in exchange for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round draft pick via the Detroit Pistons.

Charania added that Charlotte Hornets are also included in the trade as part of a three-team deal. The Knicks are sending salary, including DaQuan Jeffries, and draft compensation to the Hornets in the exchange.

The draft pick is a 2025 top-13 protected pick, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.

Deal makes sense for Knicks for sure since they need center depth and I kinda see what the wolves are going for but feels a little light on the return but maybe I’m not valuing Randle right.

I think it's about the best the wolves could have hoped for trading KAT. Their three-headed $100m+ center monster was just not sustainable, so breaking KAT into Randle and Donte is a good result for them. Not saying they will be better, but it's something had to happen.

Yeah and if I’m not mistaken, Randle is soon gonna be a free agent so they don’t have to keep him if he doesn’t fit.

I think the trade is good for both sides even if I’d have wanted Randle to stay with the knicks for a while for a nice story.
