Pacers fans don’t seem too worried after New York Knicks trade for Karl-Anthony Towns
Did the New York Knicks become one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference with its Friday night trade for Karl-Anthony Towns? Depends on who you ask.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Knicks acquired Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round pick via the Detroit Pistons. New York is coming off a season in which it lost to the Indiana Pacers in seven games in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

I don’t think KAT gets Knicks over the hump. 4/5 seed at best. Pacers in 6😂
