As Shams Charania of The Athletic reported, the Minnesota Timberwolves are nearing a deal with the New York Knicks based around Karl-Anthony Towns.
Charlotte Hornets will be the third team in the deal in order to make salaries work and finalise the trade.
In return, the New York Knicks will receive Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and a future first round pick via the Detroit Pistons.
Knicks will also send DaQuan Jeffries to the Charlotte Hornets as a salary dump move.
