The 2023 offseason could finally be the one where the New York Knicks trade for a star. The Knicks have the assets to get a deal done for any disgruntled star that may become available this summer, but it all depends on the fit. There’s one player that New York shouldn’t pursue if Minnesota shows a willingness to deal him — Karl-Anthony Towns.
Towns and the Timberwolves are coming off a season where the team was eliminated in the first round for the second straight year. Before that, Minnesota missed the playoffs for three consecutive years. KAT’s playoff debut came in 2018 when the Timberwolves were ousted in the first round by the Rockets.
