On the blockbuster thirtieth episode of the Hot Hand Theory Podcast, XJ and Geoff dive deep into the trade shaking the NBA: Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to the Timberwolves for Karl-Anthony Towns. In classic HHT fashion, the duo tackles every angle of the deal that no one else is talking about. They assess the players involved, and explain why it’s impossible to declare “winners” and “losers,” but reveal how deployment will be key in determining who benefits most.

The duo break down Towns’ underrated shooting and spacing, arguing that his unique fit at center could propel Jalen Brunson into true MVP territory. They also highlight Towns' passing and defense, and why both may be much better than people think. On the Timberwolves' side, they discuss Randle’s potential fit, questioning whether he’s clunky or complementary, while also sharing why Minnesota’s best lineup might not be what fans expect.
