While recent rumors suggest the New York Knicks have an interest in acquiring Karl-Anthony Towns via trade this summer, a league executive has informed Heavy Sports NBA insider Sean Deveney that such a pursuit will no doubt be quite complex.
“There would be problems getting Towns to New York. You would have to submit a lot of predictions, of course, but Wolves would be looking for players as much as they would be prognosticators – they want to win now. I don’t know if they would like RJ Barrett so badly. But they’d have to either take him or find a third team, maybe Toronto, to get involved, where Toronto faces RJ, OG Anunoby goes to Minnesota with some of the younger Knicks players like Obi Toppin and maybe Immanuel Quickley. You could make the money work and it could work for everyone”, the Eastern Conference GM told Deveney.
