Howard Beck and Michael Pina discuss the blockbuster trade that brings Karl-Anthony Towns to New York

The Ringer’s Howard Beck and Michael Pina fire up the mics to break down the ins and outs of the Knicks-Timberwolves blockbuster that sends Karl Anthony Towns to New York in exchange for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. The guys discuss Michael getting a tip earlier in the day that the deal was going down (2:25) before comparing the trade to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s trade of James Harden back in 2012 (6:00).

Then, they attempt to answer the all-important question: does this trade actually move the needle for the Knicks and Timberwolves (16:51) before making predictions on where each team will rank in their respective conferences (37:50)
