Mere days before NBA pre-season kicks off the 2024-25 campaign, the landscape of the league has once again shifted.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly working on a deal to send All-Star centre Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks in a package centred around forward Julius Randle and guard Donte DiVincenzo.
