New York Knicks Wanted Walker Kessler Trade Before Karl-Anthony Towns Deal, NBA Insider Reveals

Jalen Brunson will have more space to work with thanks to his shooting, whether he is driving and kicking Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, or even Towns himself. Furthermore, Tom Thibodeau, the coach, can use Mitchell Robinson and Towns together without giving up much on offense or clogging the paint. Josh Hart and Robinson can still crash the boards and maintain ball movement.
However, given Robinson's history of injuries, they would most likely start KAT at center and move him off the bench. He might be better off playing 20–25 minutes a night at this point, filling in for Towns when he sits down or they need more frontcourt defense. In any case, coaches would usually stick to the eight- or nine-man rotation that got them there in the first place, so depth concerns wouldn't matter in the playoffs.
