Earlier this week, the New York Knicks completed their blockbuster trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In the deal, they landed All-Star forward Karl-Anthony Towns, who had spent his entire nine-year career in Minnesota.

NBA legend Charles Barkley gave his reaction to the trade in an interview with The Jim Jackson Show.

Barkley: "I really like the Karl-Anthony Towns trade for the Knicks. I really do. I think that his size, his shooting ability, the pressure. He don't have to be the star. I give Wes and those guys credit for going out and getting him. Hopefully, this will put a chip on his shoulder.... He gotta come there and be really pissed off. I think it's a great piece for the Knicks."
