There's nothing quite like a blockbuster trade that births a new rivalry in the NBA. Such appears to be the case between the Knicks and Timberwolves.

DiVincenzo and Randle are preparing to play their first regular-season game against the Knicks on Thursday in Minneapolis. On Wednesday, DiVincenzo was asked about New York's inconsistencies, and he gave an answer that made fans wish he were still a Knick even more.

Just as Karl-Anthony Towns has shown nothing but joy at being back near his home with the Knicks, both Randle and Donte DiVincenzo professed their happiness in Minnesota. But it was the Knicks reunion that was really the subject. Neither the Knicks nor the Timberwolves have quite lived up to the expectations held for their teams after this trade.
