Karl-Anthony Towns says he believed he was going to finish out his NBA career with the Minnesota Timberwolves up until three weeks ago, when Timberwolves president Tim Connelly informed him he was being traded to the New York Knicks.
“I thought I was gonna retire there, I thought it was gonna be the place I called home for my whole career and then after,” Towns told Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart on the Roommates Show podcast (10:00 mark of the video below.) “My former employer did not agree with that ideology I had.
“It is what it is. I’m here now, with my two guys here, and hoping that we can do something special for the city.”
The Timberwolves traded Towns to the Knicks in early October as part of a three-team deal that brought Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to Minneapolis.
