Houston could face an easier Western Conference after the league’s most recent blockbuster trade.
In a shocking Friday-night move, the Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks agreed to swap All-Stars.
This was the Knicks second blockbuster trade after acquiring former Nets’ forward Mikal Bridges just a few months earlier. At first glance, Western Conference teams are already made better by the best talent in the trade — the 7-foot, four-time All-Star in Towns — heading East. Towns now joins a core of Bridges, Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby, who should be competitive for the title as the best team in the East.One of the primary reasons Minnesota was a fearsome Western Conference contender was its 7-foot duo of Towns and Gobert, who overwhelmed with size and length on both ends of the court.
