Karl-Anthony Towns Puts Pressure On Knicks For New Deal

Karl-Anthony Towns wants to remain with the Knicks—but contract talks don't appear close to the finish line.Towns told reporters he wants to find a deal that helps keep the championship team together, works for the Knicks and still properly values him, before adding that “none of those things are close to happening.” CP The Fanchise is joined by comedian and die-hard Knicks fan Sam Morril to discuss what Towns' comments mean and whether Knicks fans should be concerned.How much of a discount should Towns reasonably be expected to accept after helping New York win its first championship in 53 years? CP argues that Towns' value to the Knicks should be at an all-time high after playing an integral role in the title run.The conversation also turns to the precedent for championship stars taking less money, including Kevin Durant's voluntary discount with Golden State in 2017, and why CP sees an important distinction between Durant volunteering to sacrifice and the Knicks potentially asking Towns to do the same.Plus: Deuce McBride's future, OG Anunoby's potential leap, replacing Mitchell Robinson, the Eastern Conference contenders, the Knicks' win total and Sam's new Netflix special, Incorrect.
