1 Big Problem Facing Karl-Anthony Towns And Knicks
The New York Knicks acquired Karl-Anthony Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves this past week.
Towns’ blunt reaction to the move spoke for itself.
It didn’t take long for the Knicks’ real reason for making the move to reveal itself.
According to ESPN NBA insider Bobby Marks, the Knicks and Towns are facing one big issue.
“You look at their depth, and it’s Deuce McBride,” he said.
“You’ve got Tyler Kolek, Cameron Payne. You know, we’ll see what happens in front of the Court. Robinson’s out. You still have Achiuwa. It’s a mixed bag, and you’re so restrictive.
“You know, when this trade gets finalized, you know they’re going to be a couple hundred thousand, maybe even $100,000 below the second apron.”

He didn’t stop there, though.
“So what happens with this and the Bridges trade, you just start running out of tools in your toolbox. You start backing yourself into a corner here, and there’s going to be more assets going out in the Charlotte part, [and] you’re going to be limited there,” Marks continued.
“So, to be able to restock your roster with your depth, that’s probably the biggest concern for me.”
What will Towns and the Knicks be able to accomplish during the 2024-25 NBA season? Time will tell.
