Karl-Anthony Towns extension is distracting from the real Knicks problem

The New York Knicks have an inevitable Karl-Anthony Towns problem on their hands, as the big man will likely want a new contract extension this summer, as he has a player option for the 2027-28 campaign. But that incoming issue is distracting from the real problem brewing in New York, which is that the Knicks will have to pay OG Anunoby, Jalen Brunson, and Josh Hart the following year. Bringing back Brunson, Anunoby, and Hart, on the other hand? Karl-Anthony Towns is just a precursor to the real Knicks problemTowns is going to want a max extension. The looming Towns contract is merely distracting from the brutal reality that at least one of Brunson, Anunoby, or Hart will likely have to be traded in the next two years.
