Despite plenty of speculation, the New York Knicks have yet to make an eye-popping trade this offseason. The expectation is that New York will make a move whether it is this offseason or the next, but there is one available star player that the organization should avoid.
Karl-Anthony Towns, the star big man from the Minnesota Timberwolves, has been heavily linked to New York since the offseason began. On the surface, Towns would appear to fit the Knicks’ timeline as well as their biggest needs on the court. However, there are two massive stipulations to making a trade for Towns that could set the Knicks on a backward trajectory.
