New York Knicks · 14 updates
Ian Begley of SNY.tv reports the Knicks are considering free agent big man Tony Bradley for a roster spot, alongside earlier interest in Drew Eubanks and John Konchar. New York is expected to carry only 14 standard players plus three two-way deals into camp, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond set at center.
Karl-Anthony Towns prefers to sign an extension with New York rather than test free agency, ESPN's Brian Windhorst said on The Hoop Collective podcast. Towns holds a $61 million player option for 2027-28 and is owed $57 million next season, giving the Knicks a decision on locking him up long-term.
James L. Edwards III of The Athletic says it's "very realistic" that both Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart sign extensions well under their maximums, helping the Knicks navigate the second apron.
One scenario has Karl-Anthony Towns moving to Portland, with the Knicks receiving Jrue Holiday, Toumani Camara and a 2029 first-round pick.
