Karl-Anthony Towns' strong start raises his price for Knicks

Karl-Anthony Towns is making a STATEMENT to the New York Knicks! With Jalen Brunson starting 1-for-6 against Cleveland, KAT stepped up with 14 POINTS and 4 REBOUNDS in the first quarter alone! Alex Trataros believes Towns' dominant start to the season is putting pressure on the Knicks when it comes to his next contract. Aggressive. Decisive. Tenacious on defense. And most importantly, he's showing New York just how valuable he is to its championship aspirations. The better KAT plays, the harder it becomes for the Knicks to expect a significant hometown discount.
