The New York Knicks needed a center and now they have one.
The New York Knicks are shaking things up right before the start of training camp by acquiring Karl-Anthony Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo.
After being pushed to the power forward position to make room for Rudy Gobert for the past two seasons, Towns will now return to the center spot for the Knicks. While the Knicks appeared to be comfortable with Randle as the team's small-ball center for the time being, his expiring contract and the possibility of adding Towns simply outweighed the cons in what the team currently had.
Losing DiVincenzo means they won't have one of the four former Wildcats there, but the Knicks wouldn't be making this move if they didn't feel it was in the best interest of the team.
