Brian Windhorst has provided his thoughts on the trade involving Karl-Anthony Towns. The New York Knicks will have to navigate their way impressively to stay under the second salary cap, as going over it is not an option.
According to sources, multiple sign-and-trade deals will be necessary to complete the trade. The Knicks will need to make impressive moves to avoid giving up other key rotation players and still stay under the salary cap. Additional picks will also be required to make the deal acceptable for other parties involved, as stated by ESPN insider.
