Central to them are the Eastern New York Knicks and the Western Minnesota Timberwolves.
Although the spotlight is less than prestigious teams such as the Golden State Warriors and LA Lakers, which are gaining popularity around the world, their movements are a powerful factor that can shake the league's game.
The New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves made a shocking trade.
The New York Knicks receive Carl Anthony Towns. Minnesota agreed with Julius Randle and Dante Di VanChenzo to get first-round rookie draft tickets.
Local media such as ESPN, The Athletic, and CBS Sports all reported blockbuster trade on the 29th (Korea time).
Carl Anthony Towns is considered a big man with the league's best 3-point shooting ability. An attack from inside and outside is possible. Forming a strong one-two punch with Anthony Adwars last season, he helped build Minnesota's top western power.
However, Minnesota has a dilemma. For now, Edwards has grown into the perfect ace. In addition, under the basket is the league's best defensive big man, Rudy Gobert. Naz Reid, who plays as a six-man, has also grown into a powerful big man who can immediately take the lead in other teams. As a result, Towns' position in Minnesota has become ambiguous.
In other words, even without Towns, Minnesota has quite a few cards and options to fill that void. In addition, if Towns and Govere are the main players, they will have weaknesses in transition and outer defense.
New York is also in a time of change. Randall had a disagreement with the coaching staff. Jaylon Brunson has become the absolute ace of New York, and he is aiming to win the East with a lot of power reinforcement. Randall is a necessary player for the team, but at the same time, he is a player like 'Gereuk'. DiVinchenzo is also a shooting guard who led the outside attack with Brunson last season, but his gap is not that big. In addition, the need for DiVinchenzo has been drastically reduced by bringing in future key forwards, airlift co-head Mikal Bridges. The positions overlap.
Therefore, New York succeeded in solidly reinforcing under the basket by bringing Towns, and Minnesota certainly reinforced its mobility and Sixmen by bringing in Randall and DiVinchenzo.
New York has two-punch towns around ace Brunson. In addition, Anunobi and Bridges were added to balance the main lineup. It has definitely grown into the best dark horse in the east.
Minnesota also brought in big man Randall, who has good mobility, and proven DiVinchenzo, who can serve as a bench ace, while `handling' high-salary Towns.
