Knicks Discussing MASSIVE TRADE For Karl-Anthony Towns… | Knicks News

this is a major report according to CP the franchise of Nicks fan TV he’s reporting that the Knicks still have serious interest in trying to trade for Carl Anthony towns we’re going to break down these latest reports and let you know exactly how the Knicks could still pull off a Town’s trade we’re going to break down all of this and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed to the channel go ahead and hit that subscribe button now and make sure you have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new content and now let’s get started the Knicks still have serious interest in trying to add Carl Anthony towns to this roster now I don’t know about you guys but for me Carl Anthony towns is the one player I do not want the Knicks to go after he gets paid like a superstar but he never performs like one especially when the lights are on brightest and if the Knicks have to deal and make a trade for Carl Anthony towns that means the Knicks core players of OG an anobi Julius Randall Jaylen Brunson and Mel Bridges will no longer be there in order to make that trade work you’re gonna have to sacrifice one of your core pieces the likelihood is you’re going to have to trade Julius Randall and in any deal for Carl Anthony towns let’s break down these latest reports from CP the franchise so you can see exactly what he stated about the Knicks and their interest in Carl Anthony towns according to CP he States the Knicks may not be done dealing the Knicks remain interested in a Carl Anthony towns trade and again this is coming from CP the franchise of Nicks fan TV if you’re asking me I absolutely believe this report number one see P has been in this game for a very long time he is well connected he wouldn’t say these things just to say them the fact that he’s saying them means that a source that he’s well connected to is telling him this information so I absolutely believe it whether or not it happens or not that’s anybody’s guess however in terms of the report I definitely believe that it’s true and accurate but let’s continue shout out to New York basketball on the app X for giving us the following comments from CP the franchise this is what he stated about the Knicks and their interest in towns according to CP the Knicks want towns they see what Boston can do with the true five and out system we have to monitor the situation with Julius randle’s extension not necessarily advocating for it just telling you the interest is real the unfortunate part for the Knicks is the interest with Carl Anthony towns has always been there and it’s always been real you can go back to the time that Leon Rose took over of President of basketball operations for the Knicks as soon as that happened reports at that point in time kept flying out indicating that potentially the Knicks were going to trade for Carl Anthony towns for a number of reasons but one of the main reasons was because of his relationship to Leon Rose given that it’s no wonder to hear right now that the Knicks still have real interest in trying to trade for Carl Anthony towns when you look at their Center position and you see they only have Mitchell Robin and Jericho Sims yes it gets you a little bit scared because if Mitchell Robinson goes down and you only have to rely on Jericho Sims what type of Knicks team are we going to have at that point in time regardless of all the talent that we have on it that’s something we’re going to have to ask ourselves and by the way even if you make a trade for towns and the Knicks are able to pull this off towns cannot be your five yes he can play five but he should never be the five if anything he should probably be your four however this brings up a very good question if the Knicks actually make a trade for Carl Anthony towns number one at this point in time after the Mel Bridges deal can they still pull off a trade for Carl Anthony towns and if so who’s likely going to be the players going out in that deal for the Knicks well thanks to Jeremy Cohen of Nicks film school he gives us the following information on how the Knicks could make a Carl Anthony Town’s trade work at this point in time according to Cohen one player who you are in the ballpark for with the Randall plus Mitch plus a Chua which is a sign in trade is that you could get Carl Anthony towns with that money CP mentioned cat’s name today during an episode and again you have to move Randall and Mitch to get into this territory precious helps you get there and of course the CBA creates Havoc that’s why you need a chewer if you get Randall Mitchell Robinson and a Chua and you get them all in a trade you can definitely make the money work dollar for dooll to get Carl Anthony towns on the Knicks and you can make this trade happen however something that doesn’t seem to be asked enough if the Knicks presented this deal to the Minnesota Timberwolves would they say yes is this the roster that mini wants to go forward with because in my opinion if you look at what Minnesota did last year how close they got to the NBA finals wouldn’t it make more sense to double down on that roster yes I know it’s expensive yes I know it’s going to set them into the second apron yes I know no team really wants to be there because it limits what you can do as a franchise I understand all the bad that comes with the second apron but I also understand that if your fan base in Minnesota sees you abandoned a team that got you nearly to the NBA finals I don’t know how they’re going to react to that towns is not the player you need to move forward with he gets paid a lot of money and doesn’t do the things a superstar needs to do however for the Minnesota Timberwolves he fits he fits with that Squad and if they continue with that Squad who knows what could happen the only thing we know at this point in time is that New York clearly is looking to make another move they have a need at the center position they need depth at the center if they went ahead and made this trade for Julius Randall Mitchell Robinson and prua they would be getting Carl Anthony towns but they would still have an issue at Center depth they would still need to add more centers likely need another power forward unless Carl Anthony towns is going to be your power forward because if that’s the case then you’re definitely going to need a starting five You’ve Lost That so not only did you lose your starting five in this position but you still need a backup center so you still have to make moves even after you add Carl Anthony towns that’s why I feel the Knicks will not do this move I hope and pray the Knicks do not trade for Carl Anthony towns in my opinion Trading Julius Randall who is a better fit and a better player for this Knicks team than Carl Anthony towns is is a failure of a trade the Knicks do not get better after this trade is made we get worse our chemistry gets worse our team in general gets worse and we have to somehow figure out how to compete with that roster I understand Carl Anthony towns one of the best Shooters in terms of a big man that we’ve ever seen he definitely has an impact and he will help the Knicks but in my opinion in all the ways he could help the Knicks there are a lot of ways he could hurt the Knicks as well too number one when the lights are on brightest especially in the playoffs he doesn’t show up and if you want to point to a similarity with Julius Randle one of the main reasons fans don’t like Randall is because quote unquote he doesn’t show up during the postseason what do you think is going to happen with Carl Anthony towns he does not show up during the postseason do you need evidence of this look at what happened this past season this past year when they were in the Western Conference Finals what happened during that game oh yeah Carl Anthony towns tried to shoot the three and struggled and struggled and struggled I think his average for that entire Series against Dallas was around 30% one of the best big men in the entire league at shooting the three and his percentage when it counted the most when it mattered the most was below subpar and that’s the player we should add that’s the player that needs to be on this roster that’s the player that’s going to be the final piece to help us get over the hump no never right now with the team that we have currently this is the best version of the Knicks I have ever seen and the Knicks are still not done yet they’re still looking to make another move for me that other move needs to be getting a starting center and then having Mitchell Robinson continue to play back up to that starting center if the Knicks are able to do that they will be one of the best teams in the league if they’re not that way already and they will definitely be locked in to go all the way to the NBA finals this is how much that Center position matters for the Knicks at this point in time for me it’s one obvious choice Walker Kessler the Knicks need to do everything in their power to try to get him on this roster but if they can’t do that I’m okay with Nick Richards I’m even okay with precious atua what I’m not okay with what I’ll never be okay with and who I don’t ever want to see Dawn that orange and blue is Carl Anthony towns gets paid like a superstar but never shows up like one I’m good I don’t need him on the Knicks I don’t need him in New York I don’t need anywhere near this organization you can keep that relationship and put it to the side no thanks at all cat much respect to you your game what you’ve done in this league but I don’t want you anywhere near the Knicks or anywhere in New York you would destroy us you would make us worse stay away stay far far away we are good we’re more than good right now even with our issues at the center position I still think we have a Knicks team that can go all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals and go toe-to-toe with the Boston Celtics we cannot say the same thing if towns is on this team I don’t care if Boston has KP cat is not the answer to KP and definitely not the answer for this Knicks team no thank you at all by cat I’m good stay with Minnesota but what about you guys what do you think about these latest reports coming out from CP the franchise who indicates that the Knicks still have serious interest in trying to add Carl Anthony towns to this team let me know in the comments Below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and smash that like

The Knicks are not done yet with making moves! According to CP the fanchise of KnicksFanTV, he has reported that NY still has serious interest in bringing Towns to this team. However, after the Mikal Bridges trade, would a move for Towns be possible at this point in time? Sources indicate that if this trade were to happen, the Knicks would have enough to pull it off but it would require getting rid of one of the core pieces on the Knicks… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

  1. I definitely know its CP the FANCHISE, apologies for the honest mistake! No disrespect intended. Followed CP for a long time, was probably so mad about the KAT news 😂. Appreciate y'all!

    -Recap

  2. Aside from the obvious question of why would knicks trade Randle for a worse player with a toxic contract, but how about the fact it would cost something along the lines of Randle, Mitch, and Deuce, nah man, full stop on that BS.

  3. He will be the NY Knicks center not a power forward. There’s no room for him outside the center position on the NY Knicks. No need for when KAT get the basketball for him to pass the ball because he can score in the post and he shoot well from the perimeter. He would have zero pressure to shoot and score on this NY Knicks team.

  4. i like how a guy speculating on his podcast is "breaking news" lol, its worth talking about for sure but its all theoretical

  5. KAT is a bigger and slightly better version than Randle. A better 3 pt shooter and defensive presence in the paint. They both come up short in the playoffs but to suggest Knicks will be worse with KAT doesn't make sense.

  6. Right when we feel the front office is doing a great job they hit us with this dumb shit. RANDELL is way better than towns doesn't make sense

  7. Julius is not a better fit than towns. Why you lien lmfaooo. Yes I don’t think we should do it but towns is a better option on this team then randle. Love Randle but he don’t play defense neither. And offensively Towns is better

  8. The Knicks messed up when they didn't sign Isaiah Hardenstein he's way better than Mitchell Robinson an injury prone player. Karl Anthony Towns is a way better player than Mitchell Robinson. Karl Anthony Towns can spread the floor he fits in today's modern NBA. Nikola Jokic along with most centers in the league can shoot three pointers and spread the defense. The traditional big men are obsolete in the modern NBA. Joel Embed also another big man that can spread the defense because he can spread the defense. Victor Wembanyama and Lauri Marrkenan are 7 foot centers that are great beyond the arc. Traditional centers are on the verge of being instinct and that's why the Boston Celtics made a trade for Kristaps Porzingis. That's why the Boston Celtics traded away Robert Williams III because he's a traditional center. Centers like Robert Williams III and Mitchell Robinson are fizzing out in the modern NBA. Including Karl Anthony Towns would help the New York Knicks rather than hurt them in today's NBA.

  9. I trust in Leon. If knicks think Townes is a better fit on this team.. I'm in

  10. I'm thinking Leon doesn't want Randle to stop the ball… especially with the addition of Mikal… and he wants the ball in JB's hands. Towns won't stop the ball, but he's a weak link on defense. I'd pass on Towns. Seems Leon's trying to match Boston by it's position… Al Horford vs KAT.

  11. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE with your comments it’s not a good fit Towns does not play in the realm of Thibs philosophy he does not know how to BANG down low
    He can stretch the floor with his 3 point shooting HE is NOT a 5!!!
    Completely useless play

  12. KAT > Randle. The only thing is his salary, but Randle will probably command about the same on the open market next summer. Let's not forget that Randle is selfish and a turnover machine and not the greatest shooter either

  13. Y ARE WE STILL TRYING TO GET RID OF RANDLE🤦🏾‍♂️WE HAVE ENOUGH… RESIGN PRECIOUS CALL IT A SEASON
    LET'S GO KNICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. This is a major make-believe made-up rumor. According to my stats there have been over 50 Julius Randle made up rumors over the last 4 years. It's tired.

  15. I actually disagree. I don’t think Randle is better than Towns especially in terms of skill set. And, without Hartenstein, I don’t think Randle will be as good. I don’t believe Randle fits this team as currently constructed. The financial aspect is a different issue and Walker Kessler seems like a perfect fit. But maybe it’s just a little misdirection by the Knicks to lower the asking price on Kessler. If Utah believes they’re the Knick’s first choice, they might be more willing to keep the Knicks “waiting by the phone” until they’re ready and, get exactly what they want.

  16. Only if we can get him for some draft picks lol I’m not trading Randel or anyone else on the Knicks we got a deep team unless the wolves are willing to let him go for draft picks naw I’m good

  17. This is all cannon fodder for "likes", the Knicks are close to the apron and do not have the player(s) that matches the money coming in for a trade, unless there is a third or fourth team involved, this isn't going to happen. Moreover, the chemistry withing the team would be compromised as KAT will require at least 15-20 shots a game, with Brunson, OG and Bridges, there aren't enough shots to accommodate KAT. Again, we are going to hear a bunch of trade proposals or the Knicks interested in a certain player, again it's a ruse to get fans to check in and provide "likes". I'm not a scout nor a sports insider, but I will tell you that KAT isn't coming to the Knicks and the Knicks are not interested in trading for him and you can take that to the bank. This is a non-story period.

  18. Mitch avg’d most off boards per game during season n tied for 2nd in playoffs in under 20min/gm. After losing IHart, to trade Mitch n Randle for KAT plz make it stop

  19. I dont see us going backwards with this trade i believe kat playing under thibs would change the way he's been playing we already have og and hart who can play the 3 or the 4 if needed to our problem is getting a big man who can score and getting kat i believe we can go far especially he would be one of the best centers in the east

  20. The knicks better make this trade because i can see randle leaving next season and i think its best we get rid off him now so we can get something in return

  21. FUC NO!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH Y'ALL??? DID Y'ALL NOT SEE THAT KAT GOT EXPOSED??! HE'S SO WEAK AND SOFT HE WON'T AND CAN'T GO INSIDE AND YOU GUYS ARE KNICKS FANS???

  22. STOP SHOWING US THIS CRAP!! Trading for the Big Star is what did the Knicks in over the decades. They finally stuck to a plan and everything fits!! Don't mess with it!!

  23. Bruh. Not you too? You don’t need this click bait yo. The Knicks ain’t stupid. KAT ain’t it. You’re not paying that money for a stretch 5, who’s the 4th option.

  24. I am not saying to get Towns but Leon Rose knows Randle is due for an extension or he is a free agent next summer. The amount they will offer him will not be alot due to new 1st and 2nd Apron rules and Brunson extension soon as well. So he will probably want to walk. So they have no choice but to trade for someone or they lose him for nothing.
