Karl-Anthony Towns: ‘I thought I was going to retire there’

“I didn’t get called. Tim [Connelly] told me to my face that I was traded,” Towns added. “He came to my house. I respect it. Honestly, it’s a tough situation regardless of what would have happened. But, the fact that it happened that way, I gotta give him respect. It was me, three of my closest friends, and my pops. So, shoutout to him. “He came to the house by himself with five dudes there who could have just started spazzing out and crashed out. So, I gotta give him respect for that, for sure.” -via Clutch Points / October 18, 2024
