Karl-Anthony Towns’ first season with the New York Knicks might be his last.
There are a lot of rumors and speculation about Towns right now after the Knicks weren’t able to go all the way to the NBA Finals.
Will he be leaving the Knicks, and if he does, where will he land?
According to Bovada, per NBACentral, the Phoenix Suns are the frontrunners to acquire Towns.
They have +160 odds, followed by the Orlando Magic with +200, the Golden State Warriors with +285, and the Utah Jazz with +485.
The Dallas Mavericks and Toronto Raptors are also on this list.

This is interesting for a number of reasons.
Firstly, the rumors around Towns are only growing, and now more and more people think he will be leaving New York.
The Knicks just fired head coach Tom Thibodeau, but maybe that won’t be enough for the front office, and they will want to do even more and alter the roster.
So, if the Knicks do business with the Suns, will they try to get Kevin Durant?
That is surely what a lot of people are wondering because the Suns are reportedly ready to part ways with him.
But a Durant trade is allegedly going to happen before the upcoming NBA draft.
Are the Knicks ready to start dealing that quickly?
If New York decides they don’t want Towns back for another season, they will be able to negotiate with multiple teams, and he will generate a lot of interest.
That means they have to handle this situation carefully and do what is best for them and their future.
They have a lot to consider and several teams to talk with.
