Urgency Pod! Does the KAT Trade Really Move the Needle for the Knicks or Timberwolves?

The Ringer’s Howard Beck and Michael Pina fire up the mics to break
down the ins and outs of the Knicks-Timberwolves blockbuster that
sends Karl Anthony Towns to New York in exchange for Julius Randle
and Donte DiVincenzo. The guys discuss Michael getting a tip
earlier in the day that the deal was going down (2:25) before
comparing the trade to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s trade of James
Harden in 2012 (6:00). Then, they attempt to answer the
all-important question: does this trade actually move the needle
for the Knicks and Timberwolves (16:51) before making predictions
on where each team will rank in their respective conferences
(37:50).  Also, be sure to check out Michael Pina's latest
piece: The Karl-Anthony Towns Trade Could Haunt the Knicks and
