The Knicks are among the teams 'monitoring' the trade available for Karl-Anthony Towns. Should the Mavs do the same as they seek to win with Luka Doncic?
season, various star players are the focus of trade speculation. The situations many like to focus on are the ones with top-flight superstars who may be growing tired of a stagnant situation with their current team, making a trade request feel looming. Other times, players are in a situation where the fit is underwhelming, and a trade may be the only way to rectify it.
When identifying players that have flown under the radar in free agency but will become a storyline ahead of the midseason trade deadline,seek to make a significant change, it'll surely need to involve Towns due to the team's current financial configuration, with Anthony Edwards signing a possible supermax contract.
Towns, 27, is coming off a down season riddled with injuries, averaging 20.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. He faced a situation where he had to adjust to playing alongside a non-shooting big in Rudy Gobert while also having to handle guarding out in space within the Timberwolves' defensive scheme. The star big man has career averages of 23.0 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 511 regular season games.
It's not an easy set of questions to answer, considering teams like the Sacramento Kings overcame poor defense with overwhelming offensive firepower. With a 116.0 defensive rating , the Kings finished with a 48-34 record but did so with what was by far the NBA's best offensive rating at 118.6 — leading the league by a 1.3 margin. Sacramento proved unable to successfully get by the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.
