New York, Aug. 7, 2025 — A change at the top of the New York Knicks organization could create new possibilities for two All-Star-caliber players, Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, according to a report published Thursday.
The New York Post article states that the franchise’s recently installed leadership team is reshaping both the roster and the team’s on-court philosophy. That shift, the report notes, could make Madison Square Garden an appealing landing spot for Bridges, the versatile Brooklyn Nets wing, and Towns, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ three-time All-Star center.
While neither player is currently on the trade block, the Post indicates that the Knicks’ overhauled approach — emphasizing pace, ball movement and an analytics-driven front office — aligns with the skill sets of Bridges and Towns. Bridges excels as a two-way perimeter threat, while Towns is regarded as one of the league’s most dynamic offensive big men.
The story adds that New York’s executive group has been actively monitoring potential opportunities to acquire a star through trade or free agency. Should either Bridges or Towns become available, the Knicks are positioned to make a competitive offer, boosted by a cache of draft assets and expiring contracts accumulated in recent seasons.
