Karl-Anthony Towns is a Knick.

I just got off a nearly four-hour livestream, ostensibly about this very topic, and still, I’m struggling to wrap my head around the simple fact.

Karl-Anthony Towns is a Knick.

The emphasis is not there to connote joy or dismay, but merely shock, even if this trade has made a lot of sense for a some time now, as multiple fake-trade newsletters over multiple offseasons can attest.

The final details of the trade still haven’t been revealed, with the Knicks currently taking back too much salary for the trade to be legal under the salary cap. We know Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, Keita Bates-Diop and a protected Pistons’ first rounder are on their way to Minnesota, that Charlotte has been looped in as a third team, and that New York will cobble together the necessary outgoing money by resigning and trading some end-of-bench players (including DaQuan Jeffries, as has already been reported, and possibly Rokas Jokubaitis, in theory) whose free agency rights they still possess.

In short, enough has been revealed for us to evaluate what happened.
