It may sound controversial on the surface, but the extension hierarchy buzz between Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart isn't surprising for the New York Knicks.
Josh Hart sounds resigned to not getting a new deal from the Knicks before the season. That makes sense given they hold a team option on him for 2027-28.
Jalen Brunson and Mitchell Robinson were among the most devastating pick-and-roll duos of the past half-decade. James Wiseman can help recreate that chemistry.
If the Knicks have seriously tabled extension talks, Karl-Anthony Towns will become a free agent in 2027. And three teams, in particular, are going to want him.
