Total and absolute crisis, of tremendous dimensions and difficult solution. The New York Knicks have been completely gripped by the NBA Cup champions' syndrome, wandering the courts for weeks now offering a lamentable image and losing ground in their role as championship contenders. This has sparked NBA rumors about their efforts to sign Giannis Antetokounmpo.
One of the main culprits of the erratic trajectory of the New York Knicks throughout this season, and especially in this latest stretch, is Karl-Anthony Towns. The Dominican center has never managed to adapt to the new playing style proposed by Mike Brown, and when coupled with his physical problems, it is clear that he is not living up to what should be a second sword in a title-contending team. Therefore, the Knicks have been negotiating his departure with teams like the Grizzlies, Magic, or Hornets.
The leak of this news suggests that the New York Knicks want to show the entire competition that their player is up for sale and that they would not hesitate to use him as a bargaining chip in a trade. Because the goal of the New York franchise is to bring in a big star, and his poor run increases the likelihood that they will go all-in for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Including Karl-Anthony Towns would be non-negotiable, with the big question being what completes that trade package.
