The New York Knicks have a Karl-Anthony Towns problem — and it’s one of the most perplexing situations in the NBA.

Rami Lavi breaks down why KAT can look like the best player on the floor one night and the biggest obstacle the next. How can the Knicks win a championship with Karl-Anthony Towns? And just as important — how could they possibly win without him?

Rami also explains why the Knicks’ win over the Clippers was far more important than it looked, what it revealed about the team’s ceiling, and how it connects to their long-term championship hopes. Plus, thoughts on the Trae Young trade to the Wizards and what it means for the Eastern Conference landscape.
