A little more than a year ago, the Timberwolves made what was maybe the most shocking move in their franchise history. They traded star big man Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks right before training camp for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and a first-round pick via the Pistons, which turned into Joan Beringer.
The Wolves were coming off their most successful season in 20 years, having secured the third seed in the Western Conference and advancing to the Western Conference finals. Wolves fans thought that the run-it-back tour was going to be even sweeter until they made a trade that left fans at the time upset and confused.
