A future first-round pick was dealt in Friday night’s blockbuster trade between involving Karl-Anthony Towns and Julius Randle.
Training camp is set to kick off next week around the NBA, but there’s still no shortage of action around the league. In fact, a blockbuster trade took place on Friday night that will have major implications in both conferences.
As first reported by , the Knicks have acquired Karl-Anthony Towns from Minnesota for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round pick via the Detroit Pistons. This is truly a move that will truly make waves across the league. But one of the most interesting parts of the trade is the first-round selection going to the Timberwolves from the Knicks.
That selection is Top-13 protected in 2025, Top-11 protected in 2026 and Top-9 protected in 2027. As such, given the current state of the Pistons, it could be a selection that never conveys. But it’s still a trade chip that can be used separately in another trade moving forward.Want to join the discussion?
