T Wolves buy into the potential upside of Randle’s long term non max deal with him being a 3rd option scorer behind KAT and Anthony Edwards that could allow him to unlock and utilize his full arsenal. Kemba can become a solid backup PG to Pat Bev on a friendly 1 year deal that could easily be bought out. 2 2nd round picks added to sweeten the deal as well.

Knicks get a PG at age 26 with potential to rejuvenate his past all star self in a bigger role with a lot of fun co parts around him like Barrett, Quickley, Reddish, Toppin. Etc. Knicks get the 19th pick as well as they try to keep building assets to trade up or they use both picks and strengthen their young core even more.

Great trade for both sides. Russell doesn’t feel to be needed in Minnesota anymore so Knicks could make great use of his talents as they desperately want a PG and Randle’s tenure in NY should finally be done with a fresh start in a smaller market in a smaller role while being a potential excellent co partner to KAT and Edwards in the front court.
