Charania has since reported that the Knicks are also sending a Detroit Pistons first-round pick to the Timberwolves, and that the Charlotte Hornets are also involved in what's becoming a three-team trade.Given their need for a genuine second scoring option next to Stephen Curry, Randle had been <a href="https://bluemanhoop.com/posts/grade-trade-warriors-land-3x-star-different-proposed-deal-jazz/2">proposed as a trade candidate for the Warriors</a> with his contract uncertainty drawing speculation of a potential move.Towns being dealt comes as a far greater shock, though he too had been proposed as a trade <a href="https://bluemanhoop.com/posts/grade-trade-warriors-best-young-asset-221-million-star-proposal/2">candidate for the Warriors</a> over recent years. After ascending to the West Finals last season, there will now be a major watch on the Timberwolves from conference rivals like the Warriors. Golden State and Minnesota will meet for the first time at Chase Center on December 6, before a further three matchups over the remainder of the season.DiVincenzo played one season for the Warriors in 2022-23, averaging 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 39.7% from three-point range. He enjoyed a stellar first (and now only) season with the Knicks, averaging 15.5 points and shooting 40.1% from beyond the arc. The 2021 NBA champion ranked third in the entire league in three-point makes during the regular season, sitting only behind former Warrior teammate Stephen Curry and Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic.</div></body>
