The weekend before the preseason began, New York agreed to its second colossal transaction of the summer, sending Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Towns, a man the Knicks had kept in the corner of their sightline for years. But the trade hardly ended with those three people.

The Knicks express excitement at the addition of Towns, which remains unofficial, while lamenting the departures of Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo.

Six draft night deals, descending contracts and a CBA-busting set of sign-and-trades were just a bit of what it took to get Karl-Anthony Towns in a Knicks jersey.

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind for Karl-Anthony Towns and still are. He made his Madison Square Garden debut as a member of the Knicks on Wednesday and continues to search for a place to live.

Former NBA depth star Eddie Johnson says that Karl-Anthony Towns will have to learn how to "negotiate" if he's going to make his New York Knicks tenure work.

Karl-Anthony Towns may not be “flabbergasted” anymore about his trade to the Knicks, but the shock has yet to wear off, either.
