Knicks Add Towns, Weigh Trades Amid Antetokounmpo Watch

The New York Knicks have hired Mike Brown as head coach and bolstered their roster by acquiring Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges, as well as adding bench players Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele. Despite these moves, speculation surrounds Towns' future with the team, with mock trades suggesting he could be moved for better roster balance or improved defense. The Knicks have not extended contracts for Mikal Bridges or Mitchell Robinson, as they maintain flexibility for a potential—albeit unlikely—trade for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks have given no indication that Antetokounmpo is available. The front office continues to weigh immediate contention against long-term flexibility due to salary cap concerns. Overall, the Knicks' strategy remains adaptable as they monitor superstar opportunities.
