The New York Knicks have found their latest star.
According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, the Knicks and the Minnesota Timberwolves are finalizing an agreement to trade Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks. New York would send a package headlined by Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo back to Minnesota in the deal, Charania reports.
The trade has seismic ramifications for two teams with championship aspirations this upcoming season. Towns, a four-time All-Star, gives a defensive-minded Knicks team an elite scorer and shooter. Last season, he averaged 21.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game while shooting 41.6% from beyond the arc.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
