Before last weekend, the Knicks’ most prominent offseason addition was forward Mikal Bridges, acquired in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets. Then, late Friday, the Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves agreed to a deal to bring Edison, New Jersey native and four-time NBA All-Star forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns into the fold in exchange for three-time All-Star forward Julius Randle, guard Donte DiVincenzo and a 2025 top-13 protected first round draft pick.
“Who’s Karl? I have no idea who that is,” Knicks guard Jalen Brunson joked when asked about Towns. He was more serious when discussing his professional and personal relationships with Randle, and his former Villanova college roommate and teammate DiVincenzo. “That was definitely tough,” he reflected on the trio parting ways. “Thankful that Julius welcomed me with open arms here. That news, it was crazy.
“And Donte, he was a groomsman in my wedding, so that should tell you everything you need to know about our relationship.” The NBA community and basketball world at large is mourning Hall of Fame center Dikembe Mutombo, who died on Monday from brain cancer. Mutombo played collegiately at Georgetown for the late, legendary coach, John Thompson, and 19 years in the NBA. He was literally and figuratively one of sport’s towering statesmen and global ambassadors.
