Karl-Anthony Towns will go down as one of the best Minnesota Timberwolves players in franchise history.

The four-time NBA All-Star spent nine years with the team before getting traded to the New York Knicks on Wednesday.

After the deal was official, Towns made a heartfelt post to Instagram.

Towns wrote: "To the Timberwolves Family: 

Nine years ago, I arrived in Minnesota as a young man with a dream. Little did I know that this place would become my home, and its people would become my family. Your love, support, and unwavering loyalty have fueled my journey and inspired me to be the best player I could be.

Thank you to my teammates, coaches, and the entire Timberwolves organization for the countless opportunities and experiences. I’ll cherish the friendships I’ve made and the battles we’ve fought together.

To the incredible fans, your support has meant the world to me. It gave me strength on and off the court. I’ll never forget it. 

You’ll always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for everything.

KAT"
