We have the final details on the KAT trade.

Good morning! The Knicks have officially opened training camp, down in Charleston, South Carolina for the second year in a row. All current members of the team are there with the exception of Mitchell Robinson, who we learned yesterday has stayed back in New York to rehab his injury. As for when the newest Knick will join his new team, we got a big step closer last night…

While the trade sending Karl-Anthony Towns to New York still hadn’t been made official as of late last night, we finally got the details of the trade, and boy did it contain some interesting nooks and crannies.

First up, the trade itself, courtesy of ESPN’s Bobby Marks:

• New York receives: Karl-Anthony Towns (from MIN) and the draft rights of James Nnaji (from Charlotte)

• Minnesota receives: Julius Randle (from NYK), Donte DiVincenzo (from NYK), Keita Bates-Diop (from NYK) and 2025 top-13 protected Detroit first (via NYK)

• Charlotte receives: a 2025 second rounder (least favorable of Denver or Philly via Minnesota), a 2026 second rounder (Golden State’s via NYK), a 2031 second rounder (NYK own), DaQuan Jeffries (sign-and-trade from NYK), Charlie Brown Jr. (sign-and-trade from NYK), Duane Washington (sign-and-trade from NYK) and $7.2M cash
