Knicks’ Loophole to Complete Karl-Anthony Towns Trade Upsets NBA; Insider Reveals
Fred Katz of The Athletic noted, “I have heard from various people that the league isn’t thrilled about this — but such is the way it goes with new CBAs. The NBA tries to close up loopholes, and then smart people working for teams find new ones.”
The Knicks were able to complete the trade for Towns without breaking any rules by taking advantage of this loophole, but the NBA's dissatisfaction with the situation indicates that more investigation may be coming. League officials will likely evaluate whether this specific tactic creates an unsettling precedent for upcoming trades, particularly in light of the fact that teams are still coming up with inventive ways to work around the CBA's intricacies.
