"Before coming to terms on a blockbuster swap with Minnesota for Karl-Anthony Towns mere days before the start of training camp, New York made multiple trade runs at Utah's Walker Kessler to fill its well-chronicled void at center, league sources say. It is believed that Utah wanted at least two future first-round picks for Kessler." - Marc Stein
"New York's desire to acquire a front-line center only grew as the offseason wore on. The Knicks have provided no firm timetable on Robinson's recovery timetable but it is presumed that he is likely sidelined until at least December." - Marc Stein
"Ultimately, the steep asking price of two first-round picks for Kessler proved too high, but this is just Danny Ainge at the helm of the Jazz so what could you expect? At the end of the day, the Knicks came up with a trade package built around Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo and sent it to Minnesota in exchange for Wolves superstar Karl-Anthony Towns."
