Knicks just discovered Karl-Anthony Towns' true trade value

If the New York Knicks are going to trade Karl-Anthony Towns, they are apparently looking at a return comparable to what the Atlanta Hawks received for Trae Young.

Speaking on his Katz and Shoot podcast, Fred Katz of The Athletic shed light on how people inside the NBA view New York’s big man. “I’ve spoken to people around the league, and asked them, ‘Where do you think his value’s at?’” he explained. “And the most common response that I get is, ‘Look at the Trae Young deal.’ Trae Young had a player option for next season, and all he got back was CJ McCollum, and Corey Kispert, and that was it.
