Minnesota’s reunion with Karl-Anthony Towns comes amid uncertainty

The Vikings won when Cousins ​​left. They are 12-2 and are getting a great season out of interim quarterback Sam Darnold and are high on the quarterback they drafted, JJ McCarthy.

Towns’ history, in relation to the Wolves, is and will likely become more complicated.

Currently, the Knicks are the apparent winners of the deal. They got the best player in the business and he’s having the best season of anyone involved in the business.

However, the long-term consequences of the trade may take years to sort out.

Neither Randle nor DiVincenzo have played as well as the Wolves would have hoped as Randle has taken time to adjust to the Wolves’ systems and DiVincenzo, coming off his best three-point shooting season ever, is averaging just 31.9 this season percentage of his three-pointers, his lowest mark since 2021-22.

Both have contributed to the Wolves’ recent defensive surge, but the team’s offensive flow and continuity remains a work in progress.
