NBA Rumors: Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns Had 'Tepid' Trade Market Due to $224M Contract

The trade market for four-time All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns was "tepid" before his reported move to the New York Knicks on Friday night, according to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic.

Towns' availability and contract were the reasons why, as he's appeared in just 91 total games over the past two seasons.

He's also set to carry a cap hit of $49.2 million for the 2024-25 season and has a $61 million player option for his 2027-28 campaign.

"If KAT were to get injured again or the Timberwolves took a step back competitively, it might have been difficult to move him," Krawczynski wrote.
