The latest move in the NBA transfer market that has shaken things up was the one made by the Minnesota Timberwolves and the New York Knicks. The big names involved were Karl-Anthony Towns and Julius Randle, but another key player who packed his bags was Donte DiVincenzo. The Wolves' leader, Anthony Edwards, has expressed his delight with the arrival of the shooting guard.
It's worth mentioning that Edwards has a close friendship with Jalen Brunson, with whom he played in NCAA at Villanova. Also on that team were Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges. The four were supposed to share the locker room this season, but DiVincenzo's departure prevented that. On another note, Chris Finch, Minnesota's coach, talked about the loss of KAT, and Edwards referred to him as a brother.
The Relationship Between DiVincenzo and Brunson
"I was talking to Thibs," DiVincenzo was heard saying to Rick Brunson on camera at one point. "That's what happens when they let you run the show," DiVincenzo said twice before taking a free throw in the first quarter.
Jalen Brunson said, "I was right there," when asked if he saw the exchange between his father and DiVincenzo. "It was words of affirmation."
"My relationship with Jalen, he's my brother and best friend," DiVincenzo said. "That's a separate relationship. I'll talk about that in private, and we'll sort everything out. But it is what it is."
Edwards and Finch's Words
"You can't be mad at him, man," said Edwards, talking about the shooting guard's performance overall. "He makes all the right plays and hits everything. New York is definitely going to miss him."
"It's like a death in the family in a way," Finch said about Karl-Anthony Towns' departure. "You have to get through that first year, and it'll all be a bit strange. Once we start, it'll be business as usual."
