Warriors linked to $220M NBA champion, 6-time All-Star currently in contract standoff with Knicks
If all of these things happen for this NBA champion and All-Star it would be exactly what the Golden State Warriors need. It would also be another great weapon for Steph Curry.
The New York Knicks, who recently secured an NBA championship, are currently facing a contract standoff with their starting center, Karl-Anthony Towns. The six-time All-Star is seeking a contract extension, but the organization has only offered him $200 million, which is $77 million less than his max contract. Towns has been vocal throughout the process, stating that the offer does not meet his value and that he wants to help keep the team together.
If he does not secure an extension before the regular season begins, he may enter free agency next summer, where the Golden State Warriors are considered a likely destination. The Warriors would benefit from securing Towns, as he can play inside and stretch the floor with his shooting ability. If Towns opts out of his $220M contract with the Knicks, the Warriors may try to convince him to extend his stay.
