To the Timberwolves Family:
Nine years ago, I arrived in Minnesota as a young man with a dream. Little did I know that this place would become my home, and its people would become my family. Your love, support, and unwavering loyalty have fueled my journey and inspired me to be pic.x.com/PP1pGzvGcx – 3:03 PM

Leon Rose on former Knicks All-NBA and All-Star PF Julius Randle: “Julius played a major role in establishing the foundation and culture of our team and we cannot thank Julius enough for what he did for this city and organization both on and off the court.”

I looked into three of the possible ripples of the KAT trade:
– What does this mean for Mitchell Robinson?
– What does this mean for Julius Randle?
– What did the Knicks teach other teams about cap management in the second apron era?

Did the New York #Knicks improve their roster by trading for Karl-Anthony Towns? 🤨

Before the Knicks ever traded for Karl-Anthony Towns, a 2022 trade flipped his identity.
Now, the Knicks must choose which version of Towns gives them the best chance at a championship.

The New York Knicks managed to increase their payroll in both the Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges trades despite being an apron team.
They did this by inflating their outgoing salary required with every remaining free agent from last year they had some form of Bird rights – 8:20 PM

Steve Popper: Knicks release on Towns deal. -via Twitter @StevePopper / October 2, 2024
“DiVincenzo’s inclusion made this a real conversation in Minnesota’s eyes. That’s someone Minnesota came really, really close to signing in free agency in 2023. A lot of people around the league believed he was headed to Minnesota, but then the Knicks pursued him and got him locked into a four-year deal. Now Minnesota gets the guy they coveted, and they get Julius Randle. He has a long-standing relationship with Chris Finch. I’m told that he spoke, and he’s very excited to be in Minnesota.” -via YouTube / October 2, 2024

Little did I know that this place would become my home, and its people would become my family. Your love, support, and unwavering loyalty have fueled my journey and inspired me to be the best player I could be. Thank you to my teammates, coaches, and the entire Timberwolves organization for the countless opportunities and experiences. I’ll cherish the friendships I’ve made and the battles we’ve fought together. To the incredible fans, your support has meant the world to me. It gave me strength on and off the court. I’ll never forget it. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for everything. KAT -via x.com / October 2, 2024
