The New York Knicks have been one of, if not the most active team in the NBA this offseason, and they just made yet another blockbuster trade.
They are finalizing a deal that will send Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and a first-round pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns. Following the deal, Knicks wing Josh Hart made a post on his X account.
Apr 12, 2024; New York, New York, USA; New York Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo (0) talks with guard Josh Hart (3) during the second half against the Brooklyn Nets at Madison Square Garden.
“Uhh … are we serious?” Hart asked.
At first glance, this looks very bad, considering the Knicks just traded away two players that Hart has been teammates with for a while now. But, he quickly clarified the comment, saying that he was reacting to a Premier League soccer match that he was watching.
With that being said, Hart could have a reason to be upset, as the “Villanova Knicks” never got the chance to all play together before DiVincenzo was traded away. But the veteran guard is not mad, and seems to be looking forward to playing with his new teammate.
He should be, as Towns could very well be the piece that takes the Knicks over the top and pushes them past the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference.
