Getting traded to the New York Knicks was "completely unexpected" for Karl-Anthony Towns, according to Tim Bontemps of ESPN.

Towns was traded to the Knicks on Friday night in a deal involving Julius Randle going to the Wolves.

Towns had arrived back in Minnesota to prepare for training camp next week.

The 28-year old is in Year 1 of a four-year, $220 million supermax extension.

I have a hard time believing they didn't give him a heads up -- especially since reports say the KNICKS have been in talks for KAT since the summer.
