“Knicks, per league sources in touch with team, feel they had a great opportunity to address their biggest need at C in trading for a 4 time All Star & 2-time All NBA player in Karl Anthony Towns,” NBA insider Begley wrote.

“They see Towns, 28, as a great fit with their other high-end talent and someone who complements the rest of the core well, those league sources say.”
