Shams Charania's Karl-Anthony Towns trade report was a Woj Bomb in a post-Woj world

Wow. WOW. WOWWWWWWWWW!

With ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski retiring, the speculation began about Shams Charania replacing him at ESPN, although Shams replaced him in general as the top news-getter in the NBA world.

If Friday was any kind of audition, I’d say Charania passed: he broke the Karl-Anthony Towns trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the New York Knicks, which appeared to leave KAT stunned.

Yep, that’s a big deal. And it’s a big deal that Shams basically stuck his flag in the ground to declare he was king in a post-Woj world.

So many fans had thoughts about that same thing on X (formerly Twitter):

Shams’ first Woj Bomb did not disappoint

This Knicks team is officially a challenge to the Cs. Cannot wait for playoff hoops between these two https://t.co/LMpr5VLYIq
