The New York Knicks went for it. You can't criticize them at all for that. Before the season, they sent out Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to acquire Karl-Anthony Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Despite reports, a Karl-Anthony Towns trade seems unlikely. There is a star player that the Knicks would trade their center for, though.

In October, the New York Knicks acquired Karl-Anthony Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves in a blockbuster trade involving Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. It was a stunning trade that ultimately helped both teams, as New York and Minnesota made the conference finals this year.
