Timberwolves Trade Campbell to Knicks

The Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday traded Tony Campbell, their leading scorer each of the last three seasons, to the New York Knicks for a second-round draft choice in either 1994, 1995 or 1996.

The Timberwolves will receive New York’s second-round pick in 1994 unless the Knicks trade it. If the Knicks don’t have a 1994 second-rounder, Minnesota would get their 1995 second-rounder. If that is also gone, the Timberwolves would get New York’s 1996 second-rounder.

Campbell will become the Knicks’ starting small forward. But they are still hoping to make more front-court additions, including the Clippers’ Charles Smith. The Knicks also will work out several free agents this week: Buck Johnson, Rod Higgins, Herb Williams, Brad Lohaus and Eric Leckner.
