Revisiting the Timberwolves trade in Towns, the win-win result, the Timberwolves make a lot of money

Before the start of this season, the Timberwolves gave up on Townswin and sent him to the New York Knicks for Randle and Divinchenzo. Now a season has passed. The Timberwolves have reached the Western Conference Finals, waiting for the winner of the Nuggets and Thunder’s future tiebreaker. The Knicks have led the Celtics 3:2 in the Eastern Conference semi-finals and have the chance to win the series at home in the next game. After looking at the players’ respective data after the trade, you will find that the two teams are a win-win result.

Downs averaged 19.6 points and 11.3 rebounds in 35.8 minutes in the playoffs, and his shooting percentage was 49.1% as a career playoff high. Towns, who can shoot three-pointers, can help the team open up space. Although he lacks the ability to handle the ball, the team has a super guard like Brunson. Towns's work on the court is very simple. After a season of running-in, the two have had enough tacit understanding.

Randall is even more prosperous in the Timberwolves. In the previous key game of the Timberwolves eliminating the Warriors, Randall made 13 of 18 shots to help the team win. He averaged 23.9 points, 5.9 assists and 5.9 rebounds per game in this playoffs. Randall has further improved compared to when he was in the Knicks. When the Timberwolves couldn't start the situation, Randall could shoot and support the offensive end, and he could make timely defense on the defensive end. It can be said that Randall's role in the team this playoff is no less than Edwards. In comparison, the Timberwolves are still the party with greater profits. The main purpose of this transaction is to save money. The Timberwolves not only save their salary space, but also get an evolved version of Randall. Although Towns still plays an important role in the Knicks team, it is obvious that the Timberwolves are the party with the biggest profits.

In addition, the Timberwolves' luck in this playoff trip was also good enough. They easily passed the game against the old Lakers who had no center in the first round. Curry was accidentally injured and missed many games in the second round. The Timberwolves made it to the Western Conference Finals without any effort. There are still many days of rest to welcome the Western Conference Finals. Now the teams considered to be popular to win the championship have fallen one after another. The Timberwolves have a very high hope of reaching the finals this season.
