ESPN’s Brian Windhorst has thoroughly investigated the trade, consulting with various NBA front office officials. He reported that the consensus among these professionals is that the Timberwolves might have secured the better deal.
On a recent episode of ESPN’s NBA Today, Windhorst shared his astonishment at the number of executives who believe Minnesota’s acquisition of Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and a conditional first-round pick was a better trade-off compared to receiving Towns.
“I was kind of surprised … at how many executives I talked to who felt like the Timberwolves won this trade.”

“I was kind of surprised over the last week at how many executives I talked to who felt like the Timberwolves won this trade,” reiterated Windhorst.
He noted that their reactions might be due to how the Wolves managed to rebalance their lineup. “They gained Julius Randle and DiVincenzo, who will strengthen their bench, gave Rob Dillingham the chance to develop at a natural pace, and also trimmed their long-term salary commitments by trading away Towns, who was on a substantial contract,” Windhorst explained.
With Towns on board, the Knicks are now poised to be strong contenders for the championship, although his defensive responsibilities will be significant. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves have strategically positioned themselves for future success both financially and on the court.
Ultimately, the true outcome of this major offseason trade will be revealed once the season progresses and the games begin.
